- Irish VAT groups are now limited to Irish establishments only; non-Irish branches or head offices are excluded.
- Intra-group transactions involving non-Irish establishments are no longer disregarded for Irish VAT purposes, potentially making them subject to Irish VAT.
- The new rules apply immediately to VAT groups formed after 19 November 2025, with a transitional period until 31 December 2026 for existing groups.
- Businesses face increased VAT exposure, changes to VAT recoverability, and must ensure correct reverse charge application and compliance.
