The landscape · UK & Europe

E-invoicing is becoming the new standard.

Across Europe, structured electronic invoicing is already established in many markets. The UK is following the same direction, with HMRC consulting on a national e-invoicing framework.

Understanding where the market is heading allows finance teams to prepare at their own pace rather than react when requirements change.
