Ireland’s Shift to Mandatory Electronic Invoicing and VAT Reporting: A Modernization Initiative

  • Revamping VAT Reporting: Ireland is modernizing its VAT declaration system through a public consultation focused on how digital advancements can enhance invoicing and VAT reporting efficiency, aiming for a comprehensive report to guide future actions.
  • Proposed Digital Changes: The government plans to introduce mandatory electronic invoicing and reporting for intra-community transactions, standardize digital reporting requirements, and explore Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) models to improve compliance.
  • Current Electronic Invoicing Standards: While electronic invoicing is not currently mandatory, any system used by VAT-registered businesses must comply with specific criteria, including proper record generation, storage, accessibility, and maintaining the integrity and authenticity of documents for audit purposes.
