Intra-Community supplies (ICS)
Evidence required for ICS of goods
Documentation is required to prove the dispatch and removal of goods from the State.

Further guidance contains more detailed information regarding the documents required.
Where the supplier is not in possession of these documents, this does not automatically mean that the zero rate cannot apply.
