Revised Pharmacists Scheme for VAT
Details on the revised Pharmacists Scheme for VAT which is for use by pharmacies whose annual Vatable turnover is less than €1.5 million was published in Revenue's eBrief No. 41/12.
The revised Pharmacists Scheme for VAT follows discussions between Revenue and the Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU) in relation to a scheme that better reflects how pharmacies operate. The scheme operates by marking-up purchases for resale at the positive VAT rates to arrive at corresponding sales at these positive VAT rates.
Full details are set out in Revenue's eBrief No. 41/12 which is available on here.
