E-Invoicing in Ireland
Ireland announced a phased B2B e-invoicing mandate in October 2025. Large corporates start November 2028, cross-border EU B2B follows November 2029, and full ViDA compliance by July 2030. The country uses the Peppol network for both B2G and future B2B, with EN 16931 structured e-invoices replacing PDFs.
Mandate Status
| Phase | Status | Scope |
|---|---|---|

| B2B Phase 1 | Nov 2028 | Large VAT-registered corporates (domestic B2B) |
| B2B Phase 2 | Nov 2029 | All VAT-registered businesses (cross-border EU B2B) |
| B2B Phase 3 (ViDA) | Jul 2030 | Full ViDA compliance |
Technical Specifications
Implementation Notes
Peppol-based, phased approach. Ireland is building entirely on Peppol infrastructure with no national portal. The Office of Government Procurement serves as the Peppol Authority. PDFs will no longer qualify as e-invoices under the mandate — your pipeline must produce EN 16931 structured data. The first phase targets large corporates in November 2028, giving a long runway for implementation.
