- Ireland is replacing Fixed Direct Debit with Variable Direct Debit (VDD) for VAT payments starting August 2025.
- VDD allows automatic collection of the actual VAT balance on the due date, with deductions made on or around the third last working day of each month.
- The new system reduces underpayment risk, improves VAT liability visibility, and allows immediate access to VAT credits.
- VAT filing will shift from annual to bi-monthly periods, with reduced filing frequencies available for small businesses.
- The transition includes an awareness campaign in April 2025 and gradual rollout through April 2026.
