    Is it legal on an invoice to write your business address in one country and your bank details of an account in another country (within EU)?

    can see a reason why it would be a problem, the bank details are only a request for payment

    i assume its your invoice that you are sending to customers and asking them to pay into a certain bank account, is this correct?

    AFAIK there's no legal obligation to provide any bank info to anyone. That said, most business do to make it easier to get paid. I would imagine the actual account number on the invoice would be irrelevent.

    Are you saying that the Revenue would never ask to see bank statements if an audit takes place?

    No, the revenue will want to see all the accounts for the business no matter where they are located

    You are giving us no context as to why you would do such a thing. The short answer is no, there's nothing wrong with it per se.

    The long answer is that there is likely to be something to be something about your business setup that requires appropriate registration as a business and to pay tax in various places.

    It all sounds a bit complicated to me.
