Ireland Announces Phased B2B E-Invoicing and VAT Rate Changes for Food, Services, and Energy

  • Ireland will implement a phased rollout of mandatory domestic B2B e-invoicing, with details to be released in a Revenue paper.
  • The initiative supports VAT modernization and aligns with EU ViDA reforms, requiring significant business system updates.
  • The 9% VAT rate remains for most food and some drinks in hospitality, but not for hotel/short-term rentals or tourist admissions, increasing complexity.
  • Businesses must charge 13.5% VAT on excluded services until July 2026, creating interim challenges.
  • The 9% VAT rate on electricity and natural gas is extended until 31 December 2030 to help with cost-of-living pressures.
