Compliance · 🇮🇪 Ireland Live mandate

# Ireland — Peppol BIS B2G mandate (B2B voluntary)

Peppol BIS B2G live since 2019 · No B2B mandate yet — regulator: [Revenue Commissioners](<https://www.revenue.ie>). _Facts last refreshed: 2026-07-13._

Coverage model

Flowie operates a registered Peppol Access Point in this jurisdiction **directly** where we hold national accreditation, **or via a vetted local partner** registered with the in-country regulator where on-the-ground presence is required (KSeF, SDI intermediario, ZATCA service-provider, etc.). Either way, you call the same `POST /v1/documents/send`. 

## TL;DR

  * Ireland transposed EU 2014/55/EU on schedule with a **Peppol BIS B2G mandate** from April 2019.
  * **No domestic B2B mandate** ; Revenue Commissioners are consulting on a future framework — outcome expected 2026.
  * Hub: Office of Government Procurement (OGP) operates the central Peppol gateway.
  * Flowie is a registered Peppol AP for Ireland — or routed through a specialized local partner where in-country presence is required.



## Deadlines

Date| Who| What  
---|---|---  
2019-04-18| Central government| B2G mandate live.  
2020-04-18| Sub-central public authorities| Mandate extended.  
≥ 2027| B2B (consultation)| Revenue Commissioners running stakeholder consultation; legislation TBD.  
  
## Background

Ireland's B2G mandate is unremarkable in the best way — it works. Adoption is high among central government and fully sufficient for an Irish supplier to invoice the State purely through Peppol. The B2B question is open: Revenue's 2025 consultation document floats both Italy-style CTC and France-style PDP frameworks.

## Format profile

  * **Peppol BIS 3.0** ; no Irish CIUS.
  * Irish VAT: `IE` \+ 7 digits + 1-2 letters (e.g. `IE1234567T`).



## Required fields

  * seller.vatNumberstringrequired

Unclear. The 2025 consultation explicitly contemplates both. A decision is expected during 2026.
