How does Afirmo handle overseas customers and currency?
Afirmo supports multi-currency invoicing for free on every plan. You can invoice overseas customers in USD, AUD, GBP, EUR, or other currencies.
How it works:
- Create the invoice in the customer's currency
- Set the FX rate at the invoice date (Afirmo prompts you, or you can enter a manual rate)
- The customer pays the foreign currency amount
- Your reporting shows the NZD equivalent for tax purposes
For GST:
- Sales to overseas customers (where the customer is not in NZ) are typically zero-rated for GST
- The tax team confirms the right GST treatment based on what you're selling and where
If you collect payments through Wise multi-currency accounts, Wise feeds connect via Akahu so foreign currency transactions flow through automatically.
