If your business trades in Ireland, VAT registration is a legal requirement under Irish and EU law. This applies to:
E-commerce sellers shipping to Irish customers
Non-EU companies selling goods or services into Ireland
Businesses storing inventory in Irish warehouses or using local fulfillment centers
Digital service providers (apps, SaaS, streaming) targeting Irish users
B2B and B2C service providers with taxable activity in Ireland
Simplifying VAT Registration, Filing, and Compliance for Businesses Operating in Ireland
Safari Star offers tailored consultation to align your business model with Irish VAT regulations. Whether you operate in e-commerce, digital services, or B2B trade, we assess your obligations and manage the full registration process. Once approved, you’ll receive an Irish VAT number (IE + 7 digits + 1 or 2 letters), required for invoicing, filing returns, and maintaining compliance across the EU.
Ireland permits postponed accounting for import VAT, allowing VAT to be reported in your return rather than paid upfront at customs. To use this scheme, you must be VAT registered and correctly indicate postponed VAT on your return. Safari Star ensures your setup is compliant and optimized, improving your cash flow and simplifying import procedures.
To register for VAT in Ireland, you’ll typically need a translated and certified Certificate of Incorporation, proof of trade activity (such as contracts or business plans), a valid passport or ID copy of the Director, and Irish bank account details, recommended for refund purposes. Safari Star prepares and submits your application with precision.

E‑invoicing is mandatory for businesses supplying goods or services to certain Irish public sector bodies, particularly in health and education. Invoices must comply with Peppol BIS 3.0 standards and be submitted via the Peppol network to ensure secure and standardized processing.

As of now, B2B e‑invoicing is not mandatory in Ireland. However, Irish Revenue encourages the use of electronic invoicing, provided the authenticity and integrity of the invoice data are maintained. Safari Star ensures your invoicing systems meet accepted electronic standards and are ready for future developments.

In Ireland, businesses must retain all VAT-related records—such as invoices, returns, and transaction logs—for a minimum of 6 years. These must be stored in a format that ensures accuracy, accessibility, and readiness for audit by the Irish Revenue Commissioners. Safari Star helps you implement compliant systems for secure, audit-ready recordkeeping.
