Comply with E-invoicing Regulations in the United Kingdom
Legislation introduced across the UK between 2018-2019 mandates the use of e-invoicing in payments for the National Health Service (NHS). E-invoicing is currently not compulsory for B2B or B2G organisations, but public entities must be able to receive and processes e-invoices if required by a supplier. Here are the regulations:
Invoice Format
The formats used for e-invoicing in the United Kingdom include traditional EDI standards such as EANCOM, ODETTE and UN/EDIFACT, XML-based standards comma-delimited ASCII, PDF, UBL and UN/CEFACT.
Invoice Archiving
Under these regulations, businesses must retain e-invoice data for at least 6 years across the United Kingdom.
B2B E-invoicing
Compliance with UK conditions is compulsory when issuing invoices to EU member states. EU law mandates member states to permit cross border e-invoicing according to the rules of the supplier country with an exception for supplies of digital services for consumers in other member states.
Send & Receive E-invoices in the UK
Even though there is no central e-invoicing platform, Peppol is a common network to use and is required for the use of the NHL system. Additionally, Scotland and Wales have created their own e-invoicing platforms – PECOS P2P in Scotland and eTradingWales and ePayment in Wales.
