Good to know
Issue it on time
A VAT-registered business has to issue its VAT invoice within 15 days of the end of the month in which the goods or services were supplied.
Customers in the EU
For business customers in another EU country, reverse charge usually applies: no Irish VAT, but both VAT numbers and a reverse charge note on the invoice.
Construction (RCT)
Subcontractors in construction, forestry and meat processing fall under Relevant Contracts Tax, where the principal contractor deducts tax from payments. Your invoice still needs the usual details.
