A Rent Invoice is a fundamental document in Irish property rental transactions, required for both residential and commercial tenancies. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides a formal request for payment, acts as a receipt once paid, and serves as essential documentation for tax compliance with Irish Revenue. The invoice must be issued regularly (typically monthly) and should clearly detail the rental period, property details, and any additional charges. Under Irish law, landlords must maintain proper records of all rental income, making the Rent Invoice a crucial document for tax returns and compliance with the Residential Tenancies Act 2004. For VAT-registered landlords, the invoice must also comply with VAT documentation requirements. The document is particularly important for both parties' record-keeping and may be required for dispute resolution or tax audits.
