Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she is taking to introduce e-invoicing in the UK.

Many businesses and public bodies already use e-invoicing in the UK. As announced at Budget 24, HMRC and DBT have run a joint consultation on promoting e-invoicing among UK businesses and the private sector. This consultation closed on 7 May and the government will publish a summary of responses and update on the next steps following this consultation in due course.
