The change

In its Tax Update 2026 (Written Ministerial Statement HCWS141, 23 June 2026) the UK government confirmed Peppol as the core interoperability network for the planned mandatory B2B e-invoicing system (mandate from April 2029, decentralised four-corner model), accelerated abolition of the low-value import customs-duty relief by six months to October 2028, and opened a consultation on extending online-marketplace VAT liability to UK-based sellers (closes 18 August 2026).
