The Open ECX Customer Summit returns in 2027, bringing customers, partners and industry experts together to explore the biggest changes shaping finance, e-invoicing and business automation.
UK E-Invoicing 2029: What the Mandate Means for Your Business
The UK’s e-invoicing mandate is coming in April 2029, but the detail is still evolving. Join Open ECX for a practical 60-minute webinar covering what’s already confirmed, what changed at the Budget, how Peppol works and what businesses should be doing now.
We’ll explain the mandate in plain English, separate fact from myth and give finance, AP and IT teams a clearer idea of how to prepare without overcomplicating the process.

The e-invoicing mandate might feel a long way off, but preparing your systems, processes and suppliers takes time.Join our webinar to understand what the changes mean for your business and what you can realistically start doing today.
What we’ll cover
We’ll start with the basics: what e-invoicing actually means, why a PDF by email does not count as structured e-invoicing, and why the government is making the change in the first place.
From there, we’ll look at the mandate as it currently stands, including who is expected to be in scope, whether businesses will need to both send and receive structured invoices, and how the UK compares with countries such as Belgium, France and Germany.
We’ll also break down the technology behind the change, including:
- What Peppol is — and what it isn’t
- How the four-corner model works
- What an access point does
- Whether HMRC will receive copies of invoices
- How tax reporting and the five-corner model differ from the current mandate
We’ll then look at the latest Budget developments, including expected milestones towards April 2029, potential pilots, phasing and technical standards, and what those changes could mean for your business.
Save your place and get ahead of the mandate.
2029 starts now
Mandatory e-invoicing will change how UK businesses send, receive and process VAT invoices. You don’t need to overhaul everything today, but you do need to know where you stand.
Join Open ECX as we explain the mandate, Peppol and the practical steps you can take now to get ready.
