I am a ROI Vat registered business. If I purchase a service from a NI supplier who provides the service to me in the ROI do I need to pay the 20% UK Vat the supplier wants to charge me? I know there is no Vat on goods purchased by me from NI but are Services treated differently?
 
No you account for it as a reverse charge on your return ( add to both your inputs and outputs so net effect is zero), unless the supplier has an Irish vat number when he should charge you vat at 23%
 
Sorry JR, I don't understand. Let's say I buy a service for 100. The NI supplier charges me 120 to include the UK Vat. Do I end up treating the 20 as an expense as I can't claim it back?
 
Thanks JR. Supplier has changed the invoice and is now charging the Vat at 13.5%. I don't know if thats correct but at least I can claim back the 13.5% on my Vat return now.
 
Vat Reg No. xxxxxxxE - 7 digit number followed by "E". It doesn't look like an Irish Vat No.as I think Irish Nos. begin with "IE". He's issued me a Proforma invoice as I haven't accepted his Quote yet. I know the Company operates in the ROI also so I would expect that they also have an Irish Vat No. For whatever reason I'm being billed from NI but I'm not sure they are invoicing me correctly.
