- From 1 November 2028, large corporates in Ireland must issue structured electronic invoices (e.g., XML, EN16931) for domestic B2B transactions; PDFs and scans will not qualify.
- All Irish businesses, regardless of size, must be able to receive structured e-invoices from the same date.
- This is the first phase of Ireland’s VAT Modernisation programme, ahead of EU ViDA reforms for cross-border transactions from July 2030.
- SMEs must ensure their systems can receive structured e-invoices by 2028, even though issuing them will be required later.
- Businesses are advised to assess and upgrade their invoicing systems, engage with software vendors, review workflows, and strengthen digital record-keeping.
