Merchant of Record keeps more at this revenue level
Merchant of Record fee assumption: 5% of gross. Tax collection and remittance are handled by the provider; the tax liability card shows what you would owe under the self-managed model. FX friction uses a fixed 2.2% planning assumption.
Runway assumes a flat monthly run-rate. Seasonal spikes, refunds and marketplace-facilitator sales can move the real registration date.

How we calculate →The rule, unpacked
What the VAT threshold actually measures
The domestic goods threshold is EUR 75,000. The services threshold is EUR 37,500. Cross-border B2C goods and digital services generally use the EU EUR 10,000 OSS threshold instead.
Measurement basis
Rolling 12-month turnover (goods)
Use EUR 37,500 for most services supplied domestically.
Registration timing
30-day window
Confirm the effective date and any local agent requirements with Revenue Commissioners.
Who must register
Businesses established in Ireland that exceed the goods or services threshold, and EU or non-EU sellers that exceed the EU distance-selling or OSS threshold for Irish consumers.
Exceptions & edge cases
The services threshold is lower than the goods threshold. Intra-EU distance sales are aggregated across all member states, and non-EU sellers may need to register from the first B2C sale.
Conditions to check
- Use EUR 37,500 for most services supplied domestically.
- Distance sales into Ireland from another EU state are measured against the EU-wide EUR 10,000 OSS threshold.
Rate context
The calculator uses a planning rate, not every rate
Reduced 13.5%, 9% and 4.8% rates apply to specific goods and services.
The estimate is useful for sizing exposure, not for preparing a return. Product-specific rates, exemptions, reverse-charge rules and place-of-supply tests can change the amount you actually owe.
Source-backed answers
Ireland VAT: common questions
Answers are tied to the linked official source and the conditions shown above.
01 What counts toward the VAT threshold in Ireland?
Domestic taxable turnover generally includes VATable goods and services. For OSS, count cross-border B2C distance sales and digital services across the EU, not just sales into Ireland.
02 When does VAT registration take effect?
Register promptly after crossing the relevant threshold; the effective date depends on the registration route and the month the threshold was crossed.
03 Does selling digital services change the VAT threshold?
Digital services to Irish consumers are generally taxed where the consumer lives. The EU EUR 10,000 micro-business threshold can apply, after which OSS registration is common.
04 Is this Ireland tax calculator official tax advice?
No. It is a planning estimate based on the published threshold and rate linked on this page. Your products, customer location, marketplace sales and business structure can change the outcome. Confirm the current rule with the official source or a local adviser before registering, pricing or filing.
