Doonbeg Golf Club Real Estate

Cottages - Frequently Asked Question:

6. Will there be a VAT duty on my purchase of a Cottage?


Yes. Ireland's Value Added Tax ("VAT") currently at 13.5% will be payable (on a one-time basis) by Purchaser in addition to the purchase price. VAT of 21% is payable on fit out.

However, to the extent that the Cottage is made available for overnight leasing/rental, this VAT can be reclaimed proportionate to the number of weeks per year that the Cottage will be made available for overnight leasing/renting. [All Rental/Letting arrangements will be organized through Doonbeg Golf Club or its designee.]

To obtain the VAT refund, a commitment will be given by the Cottage owner as to minimum periods of availability for rental. Doonbeg Golf Club or its designee will then deliver for you to the Irish VAT authorities that documentation so as to obtain the amount of refund.
