Invoicing in Ireland
What a Irish invoice has to say on its face
The generator below opens with Ireland's own labels, currency and number format already set. First, the part that is not about software.
Required on the document
- Your VAT number, and the customer’s VAT number on an intra-community supply.
- A sequential number, the date of issue, and the date of supply where it differs.
- The rate and the amount of VAT, in euro.
- Where no VAT is charged, the reason — the reverse charge wording, or the exemption relied on.
The one that costs money
Article 226 of the EU VAT Directive makes the reason for a zero-rated or exempt supply part of the invoice itself. A correct figure with no stated reason is still an incomplete invoice.
The rate
The standard rate is 23%, with 13.5% covering a great deal of construction and repair work, and 9% for some services. The reduced rate for building work is the one most trades are actually on.
That is the standard rate as a matter of public record. Whether it is the rate for your work, and whether you are registered at all, are questions about your business — this page does not know, the app does not look it up, and neither will guess.
