I'm guessing you supplied the NI company with an Irish VAT number and this is how it shows on the Revenue system through the VIES/Intra EU VAT system.

No, i basically got a bathroom put into my house in the rep of ireland from a compnay in northern ireland and when i was doing costs for reduction in captial gains (based on work that was done on the house before it was sold), they revenue then asked for the invoice which i supplied and now they got onto the company so i was wondering can they audit the companies books in northern ireland or why have they got onto them.

But did the NI company invoice you at 0% rate VAT?

No they carried out the VAT in accordance with the UK VAT system. I just dont understand why they would be investigating an invoice i supplied unless they dont believe it is a true invoice. But the invoice is from 2006!

Oh well I don't know after that. The invoice you supplied Revenue may have triggered something on their system in relation to the supplier.

Under an EU directive from 2008, with effect from 1st January 2010, if EU based businesses supply services on immovable property in this country then they must be registered for VAT in this country.

The following is pasted from Revenue website:

"Actual construction operations will include construction, demolition, conversion, reconstruction, alteration, enlargement, repairs or maintenance, of a building or civil engineering development. These operations are taxable where the immovable property is located but services directly connected with the pre-construction, construction, and development of immovable goods, where the nature of the services require the suppliers to be involved in actual on- site activities, are also included. Thus included are all building and construction service providers, architects, which are specifically mentioned, engineers, surveyors, decorators, site supervisors, and other service providers where the supplier has a specific onsite function concerning a specific property.

Suppliers of these services must register and account for VAT in the state in respect of the services they supply where those service are directly connected with immovable property here."

So Revenue may be after the Northern Ireland Company to register for VAT in the Republic, charge VAT here at our rates and remit it to Revenue, as that's the rule from the date the directive came into effect. Doesn't make any difference to your 2006 invoice though as it was prior to the directive.
