Which VAT rate applies to my work?

Ireland has a standard rate plus reduced rates for particular goods and services. The standard rate is prefilled; check which applies to what you sell, because getting it wrong is your liability rather than your customer's.

How do I invoice a business in another EU country?

Put their VAT number on the invoice, zero-rate the supply, and note the reverse charge. Rename the tax label to "Reverse charge" and explain it in the notes.

Do I need to be VAT registered to invoice?

No. Below the threshold you invoice without VAT and leave the VAT number blank — just do not charge VAT you are not registered to collect.

About this document

An Irish VAT invoice needs your VAT registration number, the rate applied, and the VAT shown as a separate amount. This page opens in euro with VAT labelled at the standard 23% — change the rate for the reduced rates, or remove the tax section entirely if you are below the registration threshold.

For supplies to a VAT-registered business in another EU member state, the customer's VAT number goes on the invoice too, and the supply is normally zero-rated with the reverse charge noted. The tax label is editable so you can say so on the document.
