- From 2026, Irish VAT group rules will only apply to Irish establishments; foreign establishments of the same entity are excluded.
- Supplies of services between Irish VAT grouped establishments and their foreign counterparts may now be subject to Irish VAT, potentially increasing VAT costs for partially exempt businesses.
- The new rules apply immediately to VAT groups created on or after 19 November 2025; existing groups have a transitional period until 31 December 2026.
- No changes for intra-entity supplies outside of a VAT group; these remain disregarded for Irish VAT purposes.
- Businesses with cross-border operations should review their VAT group structures and consider restructuring to mitigate potential VAT costs or take advantage of new VAT recovery opportunities.
