V.A.T. - The Retail Scheme for "Tourists"

The Retail Export Scheme

"Tax Free Shopping For Tourists"

~~~~~

With the Recent Changes in VAT Rates

I decided that it is a good time to

return to the very clear rules laid down by

the The Irish Tax Authorities.

~~~~~

 Supplies of goods at a zero per cent rate of VAT

"Goods can be sold VAT-free (zero percent rate) if they are exported by or on behalf of the supplier - that is, where the retailer or VAT refund agent posts or dispatches the goods to an address outside the E.U. This is subject to proof in the form of postal or shipping documents showing that the goods have left the E.U.

If the goods are exported by or on behalf of the tourist/traveller, then the supplier does not have proof of export at the time of supply, and the supply should not be zero-rated. If the supplier nonetheless chooses to zero-rate a sale to a tourist/traveller (for example where payment is by credit card), the supplier must account for the VAT due on the sale in the VAT return for the period following the sale unless, at that stage, he/she is in possession of documentary proof that the goods have been exported.
A supplier who zero-rates a sale, and subsequently accounts for the VAT in the next return may claim an adjustment in the following VAT return to account for this if he/she subsequently receives proof that the goods were exported within the three months limit. It is important to note that the traveller has no liability to pay VAT following a zero rated sale, even if he/she fails to provide the necessary proofs of export. The liability to account for VAT on the sale remains with the supplier, whose entitlement to apply the zero rating to a particular sale is retracted if the conditions attached to the scheme are not complied with."
 

The Above paragraphs are taking directly from The Legislative document on the Export Scheme for Tourists

The Iveagh Market - Click the Picture to Become a Facebook Fan



There is a long tradition of street selling in the Liberties. The Iveagh Market was built in 1902 by the Earl of Iveagh to give the people a dry place to sell their goods. The market stands on a site that had once been taken up by an import...ant brewery. The market itself is a fine piece of architecture, with its Queen Anne-style facade on Francis Street and spacious galleried interior. The keystones of the several arches at the front of the building are ornamented with carved heads, which represent the various trading nations of the world.

Martin Fennelly decided that it was time to set up a new Antique Dealers Club where Dealers and the Public could interact and discuss the Future of Antique Dealing in Ireland.
I will be updating this Blog frequently with any information that may be of value to our members and the Public.
