13.5%For example fuel and energy, building services and some repairs
9%For example newspapers and sporting facilities

Ireland has the highest standard VAT rate on this list, 23%. Many everyday items are zero-rated (0%), including most food, children’s clothes and shoes, and books. Irish VAT rates are reviewed in the annual budget, so check the date your rate applies from.

How to add 23% VAT

Multiply the net price by 1.23:

Gross = Net × 1.23

Example: a net price of €300 × 1.23 = €369. The VAT is €69.

How to remove VAT from a gross price

Divide the price that includes VAT by 1.23. Do not simply subtract 23% – that gives the wrong answer, because VAT is a percentage of the net price.

Net = Gross ÷ 1.23

Example: €123 ÷ 1.23 = €100 net, so the VAT is €23.

Reduced rate example: a price of €227 including 13.5% VAT is €200 net + €27 VAT.

VAT registration thresholds

Since 2025 Irish businesses must register for VAT once their turnover exceeds €42,500 a year for services or €85,000 for goods. Below these limits registration is optional.
