- The reduced 9% VAT rate in Ireland applies only to the sale and construction of qualifying apartments within multi-unit apartment blocks, not to single units or small conversions.
- Non-residential elements of mixed-use developments (e.g., gyms, pools, commercial units) are excluded from the reduced rate and remain at 13.5%; apportionment may be needed for shared areas.
- Revenue’s guidance clarifies definitions for qualifying apartments and blocks but leaves some uncertainty, especially for mixed-use schemes.
- Developers are advised to seek professional advice, check definitions, ensure contract clarity, and consider separating qualifying and non-qualifying elements.
