- The Office of Government Procurement (OGP) is responsible for the implementation of electronic invoicing in public procurement in Ireland.
- The legislation, including Statutory Instruments 354 and 258, establishes electronic invoices on an equal footing with paper invoices and transposes the European Directive on eInvoicing (2014/55/EU).
- There is currently no legal obligation for economic operators to submit invoices electronically in public procurement.
- The use of the extra year for compliance of non-central entities is allowed until April 18, 2020.
- Electronic invoicing is mandatory for receiving and processing by central authorities, regional authorities, and local authorities.
- However, there is no B2B mandate or monitoring mechanism in place.
- Economic operators are not required to submit invoices in electronic format at this point in time, although specific sectors may choose to adopt measures to drive the uptake of eInvoicing within their domain.
- The European standard on eInvoicing (EN 16931) is fully implemented, and Ireland has joined the OpenPeppol association as a Peppol Authority member.
