Worked example

VAT for plumbers

Set your VAT rate once. It goes on every quote.

Plumbing work on buildings in Ireland is 13.5% VAT, labour and materials together - unless the materials cost more than two-thirds of the price, when the whole job is 23%. Heat pump heating systems are 9%. In the UK most plumbing work is 20%, including boiler swaps; heat pumps and other energy-saving installs in homes are 0% until 31 March 2027. In PayReady you set your VAT rate once and it goes on every quote and invoice. Subcontracting for a main contractor? Switch on reverse charge for that job and PayReady leaves the VAT off and adds the wording.
