Ireland — Peppol BIS B2G mandate (B2B voluntary)

Peppol BIS B2G live since 2019 · No B2B mandate yet — regulator: Revenue Commissioners. Facts last refreshed: 2026-05-05.

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.

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.
