- Ireland will introduce a reduced 9% VAT rate on certain restaurant/catering and hairdressing services from July 1, 2026.
- The rate applies without an expiry date and replaces the current 13.5% VAT on those services.
- Some items remain excluded, including alcoholic and most soft drinks, hair care products, accommodation, and tourist attractions.
- Businesses selling bundled services may face added VAT complexity because different parts of the bundle can have different VAT rates.
