Ireland’s Planned E-Invoicing Reform: Draft Law Targets Large Businesses First

  • Ireland’s Finance (No. 2) Bill 2026 would amend VAT law to require in-scope businesses to issue structured electronic invoices and transmit invoice data to Revenue at the time of issue, creating a combined e-invoicing and real-time reporting regime.
  • Phase 1 starts 1 November 2028 for Irish-established businesses that were under Revenue’s Large Corporates Division on 1 January 2027; eligibility is fixed by that reference date.
  • Phase 2 starts 1 November 2029 and expands to Irish-established businesses under the Large Corporates Division on 1 January 2028, as well as businesses making intra-EU supplies or acquisitions of goods or services.
  • The bill removes the need for recipient consent for structured e-invoices and allows voluntary use by businesses outside scope.
  • Detailed reporting fields and the transmission channel will be set by future regulations; EU-wide ViDA rules are due to apply to intra-EU B2B transactions from 1 July 2030.
