VAT Refund for Delegates

From July 1st, 2007, the VAT element of accommodation expenses incurred when attending a business conference in Ireland can now be claimed back by Taxable Businesses.

What is Allowed?

The deduction entitlements are related to cost incurred on accommodation only and do not include expenditure on food or drink or expenditure related to an exempt activity.

Which Events Qualify?

Qualifying conferences include conferences or meetings organised for business purposes, catering for a minimum of 50 people. Events catering for less than 50 people will not qualify, although a conference organised to cater for more than 50 that attracts less than that number should still qualify. Any Irish or non-Irish taxable business entitled to recover VAT will be able to reclaim the VAT element of the accommodation expenses paid by them on behalf of their delegates. Individual delegates who are entitled to recover VAT, i.e. self-employed, attending a qualifying business meeting also qualify.

The allowance will apply from the night prior to the date on which the conference starts and end on the date on which the conference concludes. Where a delegate only attends half the duration of the conference, entitlement to deduct the VAT incurred on the accommodation should be reduced accordingly.

Proof Required

VAT refund can only be claimed on foot of a valid VAT invoice. The invoice should be addressed to the taxable person and not to the agent or the employee.

Claiming the Refund

Irish companies or qualifying individual delegates will be able to claim the VAT back in the normal way through their VAT returns. Non-Irish companies/delegates can obtain refunds by applying to the Revenue Commissioners as follows:

Businesses established in the EU - under the terms of the EU Eight Directive, by submitting form VAT60EC to the Irish Revenue Authorities. For more information please click on Irish Revenue Commissioners
