Transalis are defining the future of UK eInvoicing for all VAT invoices

Transalis is playing an active role in shaping the future of UK eInvoicing for all VAT invoices. As a member of the PEPPOL UK Working Group, we bring our extensive knowledge of European eInvoice Mandates to help define the future shape and standards for VAT mandate as outlined in the UK Chancellors VAT reforms in the 2025 budget.

After consultation in the Spring of 2025, HM Revenue & Customs and the Department for Business and Trade concluded that the direction of travel is clear; eInvoicing is increasingly seen as a key enabler of efficiency, transparency, and improved tax compliance across the UK economy.

Electronic invoicing is not just about future compliance requirements. It offers immediate operational benefits, including reduced manual processing, faster invoice turnaround, and fewer errors caused by rekeying data.

In fact, Transalis customers are already automating both the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions and seeing significant operational savings and faster payments.

Being part of the PEPPOL UK Working Group places Transalis at the centre of discussions on how eInvoicing should work in practice for UK organisations. Our involvement focuses on:

By contributing to these discussions, Transalis helps ensure that emerging eInvoicing standards are both technically robust and commercially viable.

Over the coming 18-months, the PEPPOL UK Working Group will work to defining an eInvoicing framework that delivers real value, not just regulatory alignment.

If you would like to understand how PEPPOL-based eInvoicing fits into your digital transformation, or how Transalis can support your journey, our team is ready to help.

PEPPOL stands for Pan-European Public Procurement Online and is a globally recognised framework for exchanging structured electronic invoices in a standardised, machine-readable format. It enables organisations to send and receive invoices securely, regardless of the internal systems they use.

The PEPPOL four-corner model allows businesses and public sector bodies to connect through certified access points such as Transalis, meaning organisations can exchange invoices without replacing their existing finance systems. This makes adoption more accessible while supporting consistent data standards and interoperability.
