How to invoice in Ireland

What a valid invoice must include

• Issue date and a unique sequential number
• Your name, address and VAT number
• Customer's name and address (and VAT number for EU reverse charge)
• Date of supply
• Quantity and nature of the goods or services
• Unit price excluding VAT, and any discounts
• VAT rate and taxable amount per rate
• VAT payable in euro
• Reverse-charge or exemption reference where relevant

Good to know

Invoicing an EU business customer with a valid VAT number usually means reverse charge: no Irish VAT on the invoice, plus the required wording.

Invoicing Ireland clients from abroad

If you are not based in Ireland, the rules of your own country usually decide what goes on the invoice. Business-to-business services supplied across borders are often outside the scope of local tax or fall under reverse charge. Invoice in EUR if your client prefers it, so they pay the exact amount.
