Book

The contribution of value-added tax receipts to the Irish Exchequer is substantial; approximately one quarter of the entire annual Exchequer revenue is now made up of VAT. In addition, VAT law is full of grey areas where good arguments can be made for completely different VAT treatments for the same transactions. For example, it can be difficult to determine the following with respect to a transaction:

  • Where is it regarded as taking place for VAT purposes?
  • When is it regarded as taking place?
  • Is it a supply of goods or services, or both?
  • Does it give rise to VAT recovery on related costs?
  • Which party is reponsible for remitting VAT on the transaction?

The answers to such questions can have a fundamental impact on the VAT treatment applied to a transaction and yet it is easy to find examples where these issues are not clear-cut. Consequently, VAT is a tax with which business managers and many practitioners are not comfortable and it is often not given the attention it deserves. However, like it or not, VAT is a tax that businesses cannot afford to ignore.

VAT impacts on all businesses and it does not discriminate in terms of scale – the same principles apply to large and small businesses. In this new practical guide,using language that is easy to follow and with many illustrative examples, two expert authors discuss and explain the main VAT issues regularly encountered by Irish businesses and their advisors.
