Vat Rate Change

02/03/2021 By O'Donovan Keyes & Barrett

Standard VAT Rate back to 23{288ed1faaea13c5a00402c6402367f61bbf1548d96fb88e90fec999f58d5af21}

The standard rate of Irish VAT has now reverted back to 23{288ed1faaea13c5a00402c6402367f61bbf1548d96fb88e90fec999f58d5af21} from 1 March 2021.

Invoices

VAT should be charged at 23{288ed1faaea13c5a00402c6402367f61bbf1548d96fb88e90fec999f58d5af21} on invoices issued on or after 1 March 2021 to VAT registered customers.

For supplies to unregistered persons, it is the rate at the time of the supply i.e. goods or services which are actually supplied to consumers prior to 1 March 2021 are taxable at the temporary 21{288ed1faaea13c5a00402c6402367f61bbf1548d96fb88e90fec999f58d5af21} rate even though they may be invoiced after 1 March 2021.

A trader on the cash receipts basis should show the VAT rate which applies at the date of the supply, not the date of receipt of payment.

Credit notes

A VAT credit note relating to a supply of goods or services to a VAT registered customer should show VAT at the rate in force at the time the original invoice was issued.

Any VAT credit note to a consumer should show VAT at the rate in force at the time of the supply.

Advance Payments

Advance payments, including deposits, received from VAT-registered persons can be categorised as follows:

  1. Suppliers who account for VAT on an invoice basis: the appropriate VAT rate is the rate in force at the time the invoice relating to the advance payment is issued, or ought to have been issued, whichever is the earlier.
  2. Suppliers who account for VAT on a cash receipts basis: the appropriate VAT rate is the rate in force at the time of the advance payment.

An advance payment received from an unregistered person is subject to VAT by reference to the rate in force at the time of the advance payment.
