The UK's e-Invoicing mandate has moved from policy debate to fixed deadline. HMRC's roadmap is expected to land at Budget 2026, setting out the detail ahead of the April 2029 go-live.
Most guidance covers the mandate - what it is, not what it means for you: which systems need to talk to Peppol, and where the gaps tend to surface too late.
Former BBC broadcaster Juliette Foster hosts this live interview, putting the practical questions to Causeway's Tim Cole about what Peppol actually requires. Expect straight answers on what's changing and what finance and procurement teams should prioritise now.

Peppol is the network your invoicing systems must connect to under the mandate. In practice, this means your ERP or finance platform needs to exchange structured invoice data with trading partners automatically, rather than relying on PDFs or manual entry. This session covers exactly where those integration gaps tend to surface.
The mandate becomes compulsory from April 2029, but the UK Government confirmed Peppol as the underpinning network in June 2026, giving construction businesses time to prepare, review systems and choose the right e-Invoicing approach well ahead of the deadline.
Teams should start reviewing how invoices are currently issued and received, assess supplier and customer readiness, and explore Peppol-compliant e-Invoicing solutions. Acting early allows businesses to capture efficiency and cash flow benefits long before the 2029 compliance deadline arrives.
The session is designed for finance, procurement and accounts receivable professionals across construction, including contractors, housebuilders, suppliers and manufacturers who want a practical understanding of what the e-Invoicing mandate means for their business and how Peppol fits in.
