UK E-invoicing
VAT invoices between UK businesses move to structured e-invoices exchanged over the Peppol network.
ForFinance directors and accounts payable leads at VAT-registered UK businesses.
What’s changing, and when
HMRC's implementation plan, published on 28 October 2026, sets 1 April 2029 as the date e-invoicing applies to VAT invoices between VAT-registered businesses, including public bodies. The UK adopts Peppol as its framework, with HMRC as the UK Peppol Authority. Software providers complete onboarding and accreditation from winter 2028, ahead of the start date.

- Apr 2029 E-invoicing applies to VAT invoices
Why it can’t happen in one step
Every invoicing system has to connect through an accredited provider, and businesses still on paper, PDF or older electronic links move one counterparty at a time.
How Polymonial carries you across
- Invoices that cannot be quietly changed once issued.
- Invoice records change format and keep their trust.
- Old and new invoicing keep working together until every counterparty has moved.
Trust that travels.
Secure, trusted and under your control.
