Changes in the Vat rules are coming for goods bought from outside the EU. From the start of next month valued added tax (Vat) will be charged on all goods arriving into Ireland from non-European Union (EU) countries. This means the current Vat exemption for imported goods with a value of €22 or less will end. She said the new rules apply in all EU Member States and are in place to ensure that goods imported from outside the EU no longer have a preferential Vat treatment compared with goods purchased from within the EU, including from Irish retailers. The rules on customs duty and excise duty remain unchanged.
