Revenue will allow the application of the zero rate of VAT to the supply of Covid-19 in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (testing kits) following a request from the Minister for Finance, Michael McGrath.
The Covid-19 test kits must conform with the essential requirements of all relevant European Medical Device Directives. For example, a Covid-19 test kit product which has a CE marking is proof that it meets those requirements. This temporary measure applies from 1 January 2023 on an administrative basis pending enactment of the appropriate legislative provisions.
