At the Government's Table: HMRC on the UK's e-invoicing journey with Rachel Stirrat
Watch the webinar
Electronic invoicing is moving from theory to reality in the UK.
Following confirmation in the Autumn Budget 2025 that e‑invoicing will become mandatory for VAT invoices from April 2029, the conversation has shifted from if to how. With a formal mandate now on the horizon, businesses are watching closely as the UK works through one of the most critical open questions: which e‑invoicing model will ultimately be adopted?
In this session of At the Government’s Table, we are joined by Rachel Stirrat from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) for an open, unscripted discussion on the UK’s e‑invoicing journey.
Rather than focusing on policy statements or fixed answers, this conversation explores:
How HMRC is thinking about e‑invoicing in the context of Making Tax Digital
What the UK can learn from models already in place across Europe
How Peppol impacts AR/AP automation and procurement platforms
What businesses should be paying attention to now, even while details continue to evolve
With e‑invoicing mandates already live or underway in countries such as Italy, France, Poland and Belgium, the UK’s next steps will have wide‑ranging implications — not just for tax compliance, but for trade, modernization, resilience and growth of the UK economy.
