    Hi everyone, we appreciate interest from non-VAT registered businesses that'd like to make use of the efficiencies eInvoicing brings.

    As the UK do not have a standard business number, this creates complexity in being able to identify and register non-VAT registered businesses on the Peppol network.

    While this is an idea that we'd like to continue to gain interest from our community in, we want to be upfront we don't have any plans to support eInvoicing for non-VAT registered businesses in the near term.

    We're actively advocating for this with the UK Government as part of their recent e-Invoicing consultation.

    Hi Kelly - but the Peppol directory works using a 'participant id' system right? A unique identifier?

    There are other providers in the UK that provide einvoicing functionality to non-VAT registered businesses which shows the 'problem' Xero is having is solvable.

    Also, why couldn't it be companies house number OR VAT number? That would at least open it up to a significantly larger portion of your UK client base.

    Then there's also the UTR that could be used... again a unique identifier.

    Another half-baked feature.
