Ireland's e-invoicing timeline

Revenue is introducing mandatory e-invoicing and real-time VAT reporting in three phases.

  1. November 2028

    Phase 1 — large corporates

    VAT-registered large corporates must issue e-invoices and report key transaction data to Revenue in real time for domestic business-to-business transactions.

  2. November 2029

    Phase 2 — businesses trading across the EU

    The domestic obligation extends to all VAT-registered businesses engaged in cross-border EU business-to-business trade.

  3. July 2030

    Phase 3 — EU-wide ViDA requirements

    The EU's VAT in the Digital Age rules become mandatory: structured e-invoicing and digital reporting for all cross-border EU business-to-business transactions.

From the first phase, businesses that are not yet required to issue e-invoices will still need to be able to receive them in a structured electronic format.

Invoices must follow the European standard EN 16931, and Revenue plans to use existing infrastructure including the Peppol network. Issuing PDF invoices or scanned paper invoices will no longer satisfy VAT compliance requirements.
