Buying from NI using a ROI vat number

Is it true that if you purchase something in Northern Ireland from the ROI using a VAT number, VAT is never charged to the Item? Something to do intercountry purchases? can anyone confirm this with some legal text online?

If a VAT registered business in ROI is buying something in europe which is wholly and exclusively for the business they arent chraged VAT.

What are you purchasing Goods or Services?
Goods can be shipped VAT Free but Services have to be charged at relevant VAT Rate which can be claimed back from, in your case, Inland Revenue
