Odoo electronic invoicing in Ireland¶
Odoo Invoicing is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and legally compliant e-invoicing solutions tailored to Ireland’s regulatory standards.
Legal framework for e-invoicing in Ireland¶
In Ireland, businesses must comply with e-invoicing regulations to ensure secure, authentic, and storable transactions. The legal framework for e-invoicing is primarily shaped by EU Directive 2014/55/EU, which mandates the use of electronic invoicing in B2G transactions. Irish public sector bodies must accept electronic invoices that comply with the European Standard EN 16931. E-invoicing in the public sector is facilitated through the Peppol network, providing a streamlined and standardized platform for invoicing. While not mandatory for B2B transactions, e-invoicing is increasingly encouraged to enhance efficiency, transparency, and compliance.
