    Nothing, we are all part of the EU.

    I'd say that there is no particular tax from one EU country to another but the guys in this forum will know.

    Intra community acquisitions will not incur import tax but will attract UK VAT unless you are Irish VAT registered and provide your Irish VAT number to the supplier.

    Andy1976,

    to complete what Mr. Incognito is advising is that if you are registered for VAT in Ireland and provided the UK supplier accepts the Irish VAT registration, the UK supplier will not charge you any VAT. If the transaction is part of your business, you account for the Irish VAT liability in your periodic VAT return. If this transaction is for your business you can claim a deductible for the same amount in the same tax return.

    If this is an entirely private transaction, for personal use only, the UK supplier will treat it as a domestic UK supply and charge you the applicable UK VAT rate (probably 20%).

    As alluded to by other posters, because UK and Ireland are part of the UK, there is no import duty levied.

    Cheers,
    Rudolf289

    To all Irish Nationals

    I most humbly apologise for my error in suggesting that Ireland is part of the UK. The previous post contained a typing error as spotted by Legend100.

    Being a non national myself, but living in Ireland for 29 years, I have come to appreciate the struggle you went through to extricate yourselves from over 600 years of oppression by "the foreigner".

    I hang my head in shame.
