You can; but you still have to keep the hard copies, mate. Sorry.

You could but if your harddrive went **** upand you haven't got a backup copy you ********.

It's perfectly acceptable to recieve invoices electronically and keep them that way. Similarly with sending them out. If you receive invoices on paper it's also acceptable to scan them and keep them electronically (I would suggest keeping the paper copies till the end of the relevant tax year).

HMRC aren't as luddite as you might think.
