You have to eat and sleep anyway
And partly because you could guarantee it would be the most abused deduction EVER. People would be claiming the VAT on their weekly groceris and all sorts!
This seems to be the traditional Irish government/Revenue 'never give businesses an inch - they will only scam you' logic. Oddly enough, it doesn't seem to be shared by the corresponding authorities in other jurisdictions, most notably the UK, where VAT deductions can be claimed on business meals/accommodation.
The very limited Cowen-era concession on reclaiming VAT on conference-related accommodation only came about when the government were afraid of losing international conference trade to overseas locations where VAT reclaim or exemption applied.
Is there different treatment of "business" meals and normal sustenance in this context? I ask because our work expense forms list these separately and I always thought that VAT was reclaimable on the former. Obviously open to abuse though!

Speaking from long experience as an employee of a number of large organisations -... Will a Credit card receipt be enough with the expense claim, as the VAT cannot be claimed anyway?
I am always antagonising our EE's to submit proper VAT invoices, instead of credit cards receipts ...
