Mandate Overview

The mandate

Ireland's public sector accepts e-invoices through the Peppol network under the Office of Government Procurement framework, transposing EU Directive 2014/55/EU. There is no mandatory B2B e-invoicing regime today, but the Department of Finance and Revenue Commissioners launched a public consultation in October 2024 on modernising VAT reporting and invoicing, with feedback pointing toward a Peppol-aligned B2B mandate phased in around the ViDA 2030 deadline. Voluntary B2B e-invoicing is widespread in multinationals operating from Ireland.

FAQ

Common questions

Is e-invoicing mandatory in Ireland?

B2G acceptance via Peppol has been mandatory since April 2019 under the EU Directive transposition. B2B is voluntary today, but the 2024 Department of Finance consultation signalled a phased domestic mandate aligned with ViDA's 2030 deadlines.

What format does Ireland use?

Peppol BIS 3.0 is the de facto Irish standard for both B2G submissions and voluntary B2B exchange, transmitted through certified Peppol Access Points.
