- UK E-Invoicing Implementation Announcement: The UK government has confirmed plans to implement mandatory e-invoicing for business-to-business (B2B) transactions starting in April 2029, following the already mandated e-invoicing for business-to-government (B2G) transactions. An implementation roadmap is expected to be published in the coming year.
- Proposed E-Invoicing Model: The anticipated framework is likely to follow a four-corner model utilizing a localized version of the Peppol standard, allowing businesses to choose their own software solutions without direct government connection. This model aims to facilitate innovation, reduce infrastructure burden, and enable future near-real-time reporting to HMRC.
- Preparation Steps for Businesses: Companies are encouraged to prepare for the upcoming changes by participating in consultations, engaging multiple internal stakeholders, establishing a solid tax compliance foundation, ensuring data readiness, and reviewing technology options. Preparing strategically will help businesses capitalize on the efficiency gains and cost savings associated with e-invoicing.
