I don't understand - surely you can't unilaterally decide that you don't want to charge and remit VAT - you are either required to do so or not? Are you sure that your business can be VAT exempt? Do you have an accountant who can help/advise?As I said, I'm not VAT registered, and I don't want to be as in my line of business I can't afford to add VAT onto my prices (it'd make the business uncompetitive) and can't afford to the charges out of my own pocket, so I'm not sure how I CAN pay VAT on the charges?
The same regime of exemption from registration for low income business (below the mandatory registration threshold) exists in Ireland:Are you sure that your business can be VAT exempt?
The OP did say:I wasn't questioning the existence of a VAT exemption regime. I was questioning the original poster's assumption that his/her business was VAT exempt.
If google (irish establishment) is supplying you with an advertising service and you are established in the UK and receive the service for business purposes, the charge by them to you is outside the scope of Irish VAT. You may be required to register and account for UK VAT on the reverse charge basis. Normally Google should require that you provide them with a UK VAT ID to do this. As you have not got one, it is difficult to see how the UK VAT authorities would ever know that you have to self account in the UK.
