VAT on business postage/shipping

forzacalcio

Hi all

I hope I explain this right so apologies in advance if its not clear. Ive been using AnPost for shipping items abroad for my business which I believe is VAT exempt? Ive never been able to claim VAT on anything I ship via AnPost. Ive recently moved to another providor and wonder is that VAT exempt too or can I claim VAT back?

What Im asking in a nutshell is the VAT exemption just an AnPost thing or are businesses in Ireland exempt from paying VAT on all postal companies/couriers?

Many thanks in advance.

AnPost has an exemption for postage.

Yes Ive no issue paying the VAT just want to make sure its claimable. I assume it is?

If you're charged VAT on shipping/carriage and it's for goods/services used wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your business and you're registered for VAT then yes, it's claimable.
