What Stampbench does for United Kingdom
Stampbench does not implement a UK-specific ruleset, and we will not pretend otherwise. What it gives a UK business today is the European semantic standard — EN 16931 — plus the format-agnostic tooling around it: reading both invoice XML syntaxes, repairing what is arithmetically wrong, generating documents whose totals cannot be wrong, and the CLI, API and CI integration.
Formats available here
UBL 2.1 declaring the plain EN 16931 customization id, validated against the 40 core rules and the full VAT category families. The right choice whenever a customer or their portal asks for an EN 16931-compliant invoice and no national profile applies.
An ordinary business invoice: the same structured model, the same exact arithmetic, a printable document and canonical JSON — but no national e-invoicing standard is claimed and no compliance verdict is given, because Stampbench has no ruleset for it. Use this where a plain invoice is what the customer wants.
Not a structured e-invoicing standard. Stampbench will check the totals arithmetic but cannot tell you whether the document satisfies any legal requirement.
The Peppol BIS rules are a further customisation on top of EN 16931, and Stampbench does not implement them. Generated UBL carries the Peppol billing process id (BT-23) because XRechnung requires it, which is not the same thing as being Peppol BIS validated.
No Peppol BIS ruleset and no network transmission. Neither is on this page.
