Prepare for Ireland’s move to digital VAT reporting
Ireland has confirmed that the first phase of mandatory e-invoicing and real time reporting begins in November 2028 for large VAT-registered corporates. The second phase follows in November 2029 for VAT-registered businesses involved in intra-EU B2B trade. The full implementation of the EU ViDA mandate will begin on 1 July 2030.
What to expect
Ireland is aligning the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative where traditional PDF invoices and scanned paper documents will no longer meet future e-invoicing requirements. The phased approach looks like this:
- Greater use of automated invoice exchange
- Real-time reporting becoming part of standard business processes
- Technical standards aligned with European requirements and existing digital networks such as PEPPOL
Gradual onboarding starts with large corporates, followed by expansion to businesses trading across the EU.
