Cabinet approved amendments to the Value Added Tax (Refunds for Persons Engaged in Farming, Fishing and Supporting Activities) Regulations, 2018 (S.I. 91 of 2018) to extend VAT exemption to construction services that are directly and exclusively related to the assembly and installation of VAT-exempt goods imported in disassembled form. The exemption will apply only where such services are necessary to make the goods operational and are provided to persons already entitled to the import VAT exemption.
