Electrician quotes and invoices, Ireland — from the van.

Irish electricians — your questions

I'm a Polish spark working in Ireland and Germany — can the same job carry a PL quote and a DE invoice?

Yes. Build the job once, switch the document language per recipient: quote PDF renders in Polish for the homeowner who hired you, invoice PDF renders in German for the agency that pays you, the test schedule renders in English for the letting platform. Same job number, same VAT number, three documents, no translator. No other invoicing app for tradesmen handles this.

Does it handle RCT and the construction reverse charge?

Yes. Flag the job as relevant contract work, set the RCT deduction rate (0%, 20% or 35%), and apply the construction reverse charge when you're a subcontractor to a principal contractor. The invoice shows gross, deduction and net; the export reconciles against your Revenue record. Direct-to-homeowner jobs just carry standard Irish VAT instead.

Can I attach a periodic inspection report or minor-works cert to the invoice?

Yes. Inspection schedules, periodic tests, minor-works notes and CU change-out reports attach to the same job. Convert quote to invoice in one tap; the report stays linked. Export to PDF for the landlord, CSV for your accountant, all stamped with the job number and the same VAT identifier.

Does the app actually run in Polish, or only translate the documents?

The whole app — interface, tap targets, error messages, schedule of rates library, VAT defaults — runs in Polish, German or English. Polish-passport sparks across Ireland, the UK, NL, DE and AT can work in Polish on the phone while issuing the invoice in the local language. The Polish UI is shipped, not a future promise.

Plant room, no signal, no internet — does it still write the quote?

Offline-first by default. The full quote builder, line library, signature pad and PDF preview run on the phone with no connection. Basements, risers, MV sub-stations, rural ag jobs — MarginTap keeps writing. The send queue flushes automatically when reception returns.

Why €9.99/month when Tradify and Powered Now charge per user?

Because most Irish electricians work alone or with one apprentice. MarginTap is flat €9.99/month — one trader, unlimited quotes and invoices, no per-seat upcharge. €79/year saves 34%. Crew seats are €4/seat/month if you need them. 14-day Pro trial, no card to start, cancel from the app.
