Chartered Accountants Ireland’s Recommendations for UK E-Invoicing Policy

• Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI) supports the promotion of electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) in the UK but emphasizes the need for a gradual, well-planned approach, recommending a voluntary adoption phase, especially for small and micro businesses, along with grant incentives and tax reliefs to facilitate uptake.
• The organization calls for a decentralized e-invoicing system aligned with EU standards to avoid complexity and differing requirements for Northern Ireland, highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement and extensive testing before any mandatory implementation.
• CAI stresses the need for sufficient lead-in time and a dedicated support team within HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to assist businesses with the transition to e-invoicing, and advocates for a thorough review of the UK VAT regime to simplify processes and address existing complexities before introducing new systems.
