HMRC plans to require e-invoices for all VAT invoices from April 2029, and Irish Revenue starts with large corporates on 1 November 2028, when every Irish business must also be able to receive e-invoices.

Regulation 5A of the Irish price indication rules, like Article 6a of Directive 98/6/EC, requires every announced price reduction to show the prior price: the lowest price of at least 30 days before the reduction.
