Eircom VAT

dos1965 · 2012-01-23 11:24:42

I got my phone bill from Eircom and noticed they charged VAT at 23% on the full bill although much of the service was provided in Nov and Dec before the VAT increase. Does anyone know if this is the correct application of VAT ? I would have through pre Jan 1 2012 should have been at 21%. Thanks.

VAT is applied at the current rate at the date of issuing of the bill, not when the services are used. Check what the bill date is, as there is an issue with eircom incorrectly applying the 23% VAT to bills issued on December 31st. If the bill date is 1 January or later, then 23% is applied to the whole bill.

Thanks for the quick reply, the bill is dated Jan 19th so I guess all is in order.

Thanks again.
