- Mandatory e-invoicing will start in the UK from 2029 using a 4-corner exchange model, without immediate real-time reporting to HMRC.
- Real-time reporting (RTR) is deferred but remains a future possibility, potentially using the same infrastructure.
- Consultation responses support RTR in principle, but only after e-invoicing is established with clear standards and phased rollout.
- Pre-filled VAT returns are not being introduced at this stage.
- HMRC is following a phased approach similar to Belgium, keeping e-reporting as a future goal.
