Promoting electronic invoicing across UK businesses and the public sector
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

HMRC and DBT are seeking views on standardising electronic invoicing and increasing its adoption across UK businesses and the public sector.

E-invoicing is the digital exchange of invoice information directly between buyers’ and suppliers’ financial systems, even if these systems are different. The outcome is an invoice which is automatically written into the buyer’s financial system without manual processing.

E-invoicing automates the exchange of invoices between buyers and suppliers. Increased e-invoicing uptake may support economic growth, business productivity, improve business cashflow and reduce errors in tax returns. It has the potential to both support businesses and tax administration.

HMRC and the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) are publishing a joint consultation to understand how e-invoicing may align with you or your customers’ businesses. We are interested in responses from businesses of all sizes – whether they use e-invoicing or not – as well as interest groups, representative bodies, industry bodies and individuals.

When women and girls are empowered in all their diversity, their leadership transforms societies: UK National statement at the UN Commission on the Status of Women General Discussion
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-14)

Statement by Lord Collins of Highbury, Minister for Africa and the UN, at the UN Commission on the Status of Women General Discussion.

Three decades after the world came together in Beijing, we agreed a CSW Political Declaration to advance the rights of all women and girls and reaffirm the need to respect, promote and protect their fundamental freedoms.

We should celebrate the lives saved and changed, and the progress made.

Today, one in five young women were married as children versus nearly one in four a decade ago. More girls are and remain in school than ever before. Through multilateral action, numbers of female genital mutilation are falling rapidly.

Together, we can deliver this kind of change. And so, we must also make this a year for advancing gender equality.

Globally, progress on the rights of all women and girls and other marginalised groups is slowing and reversing.

Women and girls are facing renewed assault.

An assault on the essential rights that give them their autonomy over their lives and their bodies, keeping them from accessing comprehensive sexual health services and realising their sexual and reproductive rights, including safe abortion.

An assault on the right to participate fully, equally, safely and meaningfully in all spheres of life.

And an assault on our ability to work together – including multilaterally, where these rights must not be traded away.

Rapidly emerging technologies are multiplying threats – from online violence to algorithmic bias.

These threats affect men and boys too, who are being isolated by harmful narratives about gender roles and masculinity.

Men and boys must play an equal part in this journey – as allies, champions and agents of change.

When women and girls are empowered in all their diversity, their leadership transforms societies.

It makes us more effective in everything from tackling the climate and nature crisis, to building peace and pursuing prosperity.

Chair, advancing gender equality and empowering all women and girls is a priority for the United Kingdom.

We are breaking down the barriers for women and girls from the schoolroom to the boardroom.

And we are working with others through modern, respectful partnerships around the world - including with grassroots women-led groups.

Civil society is and will remain at the heart of CSW.

As a lifelong trade unionist, I know just how important civil society is to make the change we all so desire.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We ide Systems Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 ide Systems Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Notably, there was a revision to the grossing factors in the 2018 to 2019 publication, which is discussed in the commentary and supporting documentation for that tax year. Further details, including a summary of significant methodological changes over time, data suitability and coverage, are included in the Background Quality Report.
