The Ireland page in E-invoice Preflight had its dates from vendor guides, and said so. This run read Revenue's eInvoicing hub on revenue.ie instead (implementation phases, large corporates, all businesses, Peppol, business identifier and technical specifications pages) and corrected the page.
The 1 November 2028 and July 2030 dates held. Two things changed:
- Phase Two (1 November 2029) is narrower than the page said. Revenue limits it to VAT-registered businesses in cross-border EU B2B trade with zero-rated goods or reverse-charge services, not "all VAT-registered businesses trading within the EU".
- "Large corporate" has a definition: VAT-registered, managed by Revenue's Large Corporates Division on 1 January 2027, and established in Ireland. Phase One also needs real-time reporting of a subset of invoice data, over Peppol.
New details the page now carries: every business must be able to receive from 1 November 2028; Revenue will issue a Business Identifier in 2027 (the VAT number for VAT-registered businesses) and intends to become Ireland's Peppol Authority from 1 January 2027. The technical specifications page still had no schemas, so the page keeps its "EN 16931 plus Peppol BIS is the likely starting point" wording rather than claiming an Irish profile. No penalties were found, and none are stated.
The country hub row and the page's tests were updated to match. Not legal or tax advice.
