Phase 1: 1 Nov 2028 – all must receive

Betrifft mich das?

Zwei Fragen. Bei der Regel zur festen Niederlassung machen die meisten ausländischen Unternehmen Fehler.

Is your business established in Ireland (registered office, branch or fixed establishment)?

Do you make intra-EU B2B supplies involving Ireland?

Ireland: likely outside the issuing mandate — watch e-reporting / cross-border

VAT registration or trading alone, without a fixed establishment, usually keeps you outside Ireland's issuing obligation — but you may still face e-reporting or need to receive structured e-invoices. Confirm your establishment status.

Not in scope for Ireland

With no establishment and no registration or trade in Ireland, the mandate doesn't apply to you today. Revisit this if you open a branch, warehouse or start supplying into Ireland.
