Ireland can now compete even more with the world’s serious Conference Destinations by offering a tax relief to companies booking a conference in Ireland – yeah! 13.5% VAT can be claimed back on accommodation – this is both to individuals attending a conference and to companies arranging a conference in Ireland. This is great news as it really does help to make Ireland even more competitive as a destination for Conferences in Ireland.
Interestingly – Concentives are becoming verrrrrrry popular – they are a mix of a conference and incentive – companies only have to book a conference room (must be fore 50 people or more) for a morning and then have a jolly lined up (I mean a meaningful experience showcasing Ireland) for the rest of the trip.
Tax Back Internationalare the company that are processing these claims – they are very helpful and knowledgeble on the ins and outs of it. There are offices world wide as well as Dublin and Cork!
Irish companies can claim VAT back through their normal VAT returns.
Every little helps!! For more tips on how to save money when organising a conference read the following posts…
