Free Ireland Invoice Template

Irish VAT invoices follow the EU standard: your VAT number, the customer's details, and a per-line VAT breakdown at 23% (or the reduced 13.5% / 9% rates where they apply). Billia's tax field handles the per-line math.

What a Ireland invoice must include

• A sequential invoice number
• Your business name, address, and VAT registration number
• The invoice date and date of supply
• Your customer's name and address
• Description of each service with quantity
• Unit price excluding VAT per line
• The VAT rate applied per line (23%, 13.5%, 9%, or 0%)
• Total excluding VAT, total VAT, and total including VAT

Tax note: VAT at 23% (standard rate). Tax rules change — confirm anything unusual with your accountant.

Tips for invoicing in Ireland

• If you supply to consumers (not businesses), the invoice still needs the full VAT breakdown — B2C doesn't simplify Irish invoices.
• Keep VAT records for 6 years. Revenue audits small traders too, not just large companies.
• Use the notes field for your Companies Registration Office number if you're a limited company — it's required on business paperwork.
• For reverse-charge EU invoices, both VAT numbers and the words 'Reverse charge' are mandatory.

Getting paid on time in Ireland

Irish freelancers and contractors get paid fastest when the invoice leaves no room for questions: VAT shown correctly on each line, a sequential invoice number, and a concrete due date rather than a vague "Net 30." Send it promptly — invoices issued within a day or two of delivery tend to beat month-end batches, and prompt billing sets the tone for prompt payment.

If a payment goes past due, act early and stay courteous: a short reminder quoting the invoice number and amount often resolves things within days. Escalate gradually — firm, then formal — rather than opening with threats, and keep a copy of every message you send. Our late payments guide walks through each stage of that sequence, with wording you can adapt.

Prevention beats collection, so build the habits in our getting paid faster guide into your routine: deposits on larger jobs, exact payment details on every invoice, and shorter terms until a client proves reliable. Billia's free invoice generator takes care of the formatting and the VAT math automatically.
