The UK government has confirmed that from April 2029, VAT invoices must be issued electronically. For most finance teams, this means a fundamental shift in how invoices are processed, moving away from PDFs and email-based workflows toward structured, machine-readable formats. 

But the mandate is only part of the picture. Countries like Germany, Belgium, France, and Italy - already well into their transitions - offer hard‑won lessons about what works, what doesn’t, and what organisations wish they had done earlier. Their experience shows that getting the foundations right now, not in 2029, is the difference between a smooth, strategic evolution and an expensive, last‑minute scramble.

Join this live panel discussion where experts from HMRC and Quadient will explore: 

  • The official HMRC roadmap for e-invoicing, where the UK is today and what comes next 
  • What UK finance teams can learn from Belgium’s Peppol rollout; how it unfolded and why it matters for the UK. 
  • Why structured invoice data is critical for VAT compliance and visibility 
  • How finance teams can prepare their AP and AR processes ahead of the 2029 mandate 
  • The role automation will play in adapting AP and AR operations to e-invoicing
