The Irish government has confirmed that from 1 October 2023, the VAT rate applied to hospitality, hotels, and tourism will rise from 9% to 13.5%. This includes the following services:
• Entrance to cinema, sporting, cultural, circus, concert, and amusement parks;
• Restaurant, cafe, and general catering services;
• Hotel, guest and holiday accommodation;
• Hairdressing services.
The VAT rate on these services was reduced to 9% to help the Irish hospitality sector recover from the impact of COVID-19.
