- Ireland has set a phased VAT Modernisation timeline, with mandatory e-invoicing starting on 1 November 2028.
- From that date, VAT-registered large corporates in Ireland must issue structured e-invoices for domestic B2B sales and report selected invoice data to Revenue in real time.
- E-invoices must follow the EN 16931 structured format; PDFs and scanned invoices will not count. All Irish businesses must be able to receive and process structured e-invoices from Phase One.
- In November 2029, the rules will expand to certain cross-border EU B2B transactions, and from July 2030 EU-wide ViDA requirements will apply.
- Businesses, especially large corporates, should start preparing systems, data, and teams now; Revenue will provide further guidance and contact affected businesses.
