Business Systems Integration: Call for evidence

The UK government has launched a call for evidence on business systems integration. Now’s the time to share your views on how business systems integration could make it easier for businesses to keep records.

Digitisation is reshaping how small businesses operate, creating opportunities to reduce time spent on administration and the potential for mistakes. Integrating existing business systems could free up time and give businesses accurate, up-to-date views of their finances and simplify the fulfilment of their tax obligations. 

The government is looking for views to understand how businesses use digital systems for record keeping and, in particular, the uptake and availability of integrations that enable the automatic transfer of sales and purchase data into a business’ accounting software. 

The government’s aim is to find ways to support business to enable them to focus on growth, rather than administration, without introducing new requirements. 

HMRC is encouraging all taxpayers, agents and stakeholders to share their views before 4 June 2026.
