Variable Direct Debit for VAT: New Bi-Monthly Payment Option Available from August 2025

  • From August 2025, Variable Direct Debit (VDD) will be available for VAT payments, replacing existing ROS Debit Instruction (RDI) and Fixed Direct Debit (FDD) schemes.
  • VDD requires a switch from annual to bi-monthly VAT returns, with Revenue debiting the actual balance due every two months.
  • Benefits include earlier access to VAT credits, improved visibility of VAT position, fewer payments (maximum six per year), automatic timely payments, and no need for year-end balancing payments.
  • The change to bi-monthly filing may increase administrative costs for small businesses, but reduced filing/payment options remain available for those who qualify.
  • VAT customers can set up and manage VDD through the Payments Hub in ROS.
