This page aims to provide you with more information regarding the VAT rates applied to your SimplePay invoices, as well as the various factors that would determine the VAT rate applicable.
Please note: You will need to update your VAT Number, if you are VAT registered, and your Address under Billing Preferences in order for us to apply the appropriate VAT rate to your invoices and to allow your company to reclaim VAT in Ireland. If no VAT number is provided, VAT will be applied by default at the standard rate of 23%. More billing information can be found on the below help page:
Ireland
The default VAT rate applied will be the standard rate of 23%. This applies to customers that are not VAT registered and to companies that are registered for VAT in Ireland. All VAT numbers provided will be verified by our Billing team.
Please note: Where a Section 56B exemption applies, the default rate of 23% VAT will be applied initially. However, upon submission and successful verification of your Form VAT 56B, our Billing team will update your VAT rate to 0%. All supporting documents must be emailed to [email protected]. Please expect a twenty-one (21) day turnaround time to allow for us to verify any supporting documents emailed through.
European Union (EU) Member States
If your company is registered for VAT in a country within the EU (excluding Ireland), you will be eligible for a 0% VAT rate upon successful verification of your VAT number by our Billing team. No supplementary documentation needs to be submitted for verification of an EU VAT number. Please expect a twenty-one (21) day turnaround time to allow for us to verify any supporting documents emailed through.
Third Countries
If your company is registered for VAT in a Third Country (a country that is not a member of the European Union, such as Northern Ireland, UK, USA), the default VAT rate applied will be 23%. In order to qualify for a 0% VAT rate, you will be required to email our Billing team with proof of your VAT registration to [email protected]. Upon successful verification, a 0% VAT rate will be applied. Please expect a twenty-one (21) day turnaround time to allow for us to verify any supporting documents emailed through.
