- Chambers Global Aviation Finance & Leasing Guide 2022: Ireland
1.1.1 Taxes/Duties Payable Upon Execution of the Sales Agreement VAT Whether there will be any VAT payable on the sale of an aircraft is determined by its physical location at the point of sale. If the aircraft is physically located in Ireland at the time, the place of supply for Irish VAT purposes will be Ireland. As a result, the seller will be liable for any Irish VAT chargeable on the supply, at 23%. However, if the aircraft will be used outside the EU or by a transport undertaking operating for reward chiefly on international routes, Irish VAT will apply at 0%. The seller will be obliged to be registered for VAT in Ireland, regardless of whether the 0% or 23% rate applies. Please see full Alert below for more information.

- Budget 2023 – Tax Highlights
Last year's Budget was presented as setting a course for a journey to a post-pandemic Ireland in 2022.

Set against this backdrop, Ireland's Budget 2023 was presented as a "Cost of Living Budget" to support individuals, families and businesses to deal with rising prices. However, the Budget also struck an optimistic tone in terms of the remarkable recovery in Ireland's labour market over the past year and the strength of tax revenues, while also exercising prudence to ensure a sustainable and strong economy into the future.
