Setting Up A VAT Export Account

Posted: 13 December 2016
VAT Account Setup Guide

If you are a VAT registered Irish business owner you can set up a VAT free account with us, allowing you to purchase goods and items from our online store without paying the VAT. In order to do this you FIRST need to set up a business account with us and provide relevant details so that we can have them checked by the HMRC.

Please note: Once you set up a business account we need to manually approve the account. This can take up to 1 working business day. DO NOT purchase before receiving a verification email - or you will be charged VAT which we CANNOT refund. We can only deliver to the VAT registered address.
 

For personal customers living in VAT exempt states such as Jersery, Gurnsey, Switzerland & Norway you will need to set up a personal account BUT documentation is not required as we are shipping to the state address. You must ensure that your address registered against your account for both billing and shipping are located within these VAT exempt states or else you will not see VAT exempt prices online.

2) Upload a copy of your VAT correspondence - This MUST be an official copy of correspondence from your relevant VAT Office. For example a VAT end of year or a VAT return form. It must contain the following - Business name - Business Address - VAT No - VAT office watermarked heading.

Please note: We only deliver to the business VAT registered address.
