- The UK government will mandate e-invoicing for all VAT-registered businesses starting April 1, 2029, covering both B2B and B2G transactions.
- The mandate follows a public consultation and aims to align the UK with global e-invoicing trends, focusing on structured, digital VAT invoices.
- The UK will use a decentralized model, allowing businesses to use their preferred e-invoicing platforms as long as they meet approved standards.
- No real-time reporting to HMRC is required initially; the focus is on invoice format, data quality, and interoperability.
- A period of stakeholder collaboration will begin in January 2026 to help design the e-invoicing regime, with standards yet to be finalized.
