Do I pay VAT or tax on my purchases? – Support Centre

Valued Added Tax (VAT) is an Irish government tax applied to goods and services. There are three primary VAT rates within Ireland: 23%, 13.5% and 0%. The VAT rate which applies to a specific gift is displayed at the end of the relevant gift description screen. The standard VAT rate is 23% VAT and books at 0% VAT.

Whether VAT is charged is dependent on the gift's destination (the recipient's location). The below table provides a summary:

Customer Based In	Recipient Based In	VAT Charged
Rep. of Ireland	Rep. of Ireland	Yes
Rep. of Ireland	European Union	Yes
Rep. of Ireland	Outside European Union	No

European Union	Rep. of Ireland	Yes
European Union	European Union	Yes*
European Union	Outside European Union	No

Outside European Union	Rep. of Ireland	Yes
Outside European Union	European Union	Yes
Outside European Union	Outside European Union	No

*VAT Registered Companies outside Ireland but within the EU are VAT exempt if the gift destination is also outside Ireland but within the EU. A valid VAT Number is required in this case.
