Add VAT to a price, or find the VAT inside a total, at the standard 23% or a reduced rate.
How VAT works in Ireland
The standard rate of Irish VAT is 23 percent. To add it, multiply by 1.23: 100 becomes 123. To take it out, divide a VAT-inclusive total by 1.23: 123 contains 23 of VAT.
Ireland also has reduced rates of 13.5 percent and 9 percent. Building work and many repair and maintenance services are generally charged at the reduced 13.5 percent rate, but which rate applies depends on the job, so check with Revenue before you quote. A few special categories have their own rates.
