Revenue has confirmed a three-phase mandate: from 1 Nov 2028 large corporates must issue e-invoices and report to Revenue, and every business in Ireland must be able to receive them; intra-EU traders follow in Nov 2029 and ViDA in Jul 2030.

Next phase deadline
Phase 1: 1 Nov 2028 – all must receive
Two questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.
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.
