Regulatory updates - Taiwan

On September 22, 2025, the Digital Industry Agency announced that Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Affairs (moda) is adopting Peppol's international standards and has become a Peppol Authority. The Ministry will develop localized Peppol specifications tailored to domestic needs, enabling convenient adoption by local enterprises while maintaining necessary security requirements.

This initiative will allow Taiwanese businesses to conduct cross-border digital transactions more seamlessly with other close trading countries in the Peppol network, including Australia, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, and Malaysia, while reducing costs compared with traditional paper-based processes and electronic data interchange (EDI).

The Ministry aims to promote the Peppol network among businesses and drive industrial upgrading and transformation. The initiative will also strengthen Taiwan's position in cross-border trade and help businesses capitalize on opportunities in the global digital economy. Additionally, the Ministry will support domestic service providers to join OpenPeppol, helping accelerate Peppol adoption across industries in Taiwan.
