    I pay for a number of online services monthly. Some are in UK, Denmark, France etc. Looking at the invoices, I notice I am paying their local VAT rate on the service. Why is this? I can't charge VAT when I am charging a company outside Ireland in the EU so why is the reverse true?

    Can I claim this VAT back when doing a VAT3 return? If not can I claim it back at all?

    Are you registered for VAT here? Do the foreign businesses know that they are supplying an Irish business? It's your responsibility to let them know, and to give them your Irish VAT registration details.

    I do know that some foreign businesses charge local VAT even when they shouldn't.

    Foreign VAT can be recovered through ROS - follow this link: http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/vat/refunds/unregistered-persons-vat-reclaims-faqs.html
