GIVEN under my Official Seal, 20 December,
  1. MICHAEL MCGRATH, Minister for Finance. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) These Regulations transpose into Irish VAT law Council Regulation (EU) 2020/283, which amends Council Regulation (EU) 904/2010 on administrative co-operation and combating fraud in the field of value-added tax. With the growth in electronic commerce transactions, the collection and use of data on cross-border payments can be especially useful in the effort to combat VAT fraud across the EU. In this context, Council Regulation (EU) 2020/283 requires: - the EU Commission to develop and maintain a central electronic system of payment information (‘CESOP’), and - Member States to collect and transmit certain information in relation to cross-border payments from payment service providers. The measures are aimed at supporting tax authorities in detecting VAT fraud and in investigating suspected such cases. These Regulations transpose Council Regulation (EU) 2020/283 into Irish law by way of inserting two new Sections into the Value-Added Tax Consolidation Act 2010 (No. 31 of 2010). The new provisions relate to the manner in which payment service providers are obliged to report information about certain cross-border payments, and also specify some matters about Revenue’s retention and transmission of the reported information. Regulation 1 gives the title of the Regulations. Regulation 2 provides that the Regulations will come into effect on 1 January
  2. Regulation 3 inserts two new sections into Part 9A of the VAT Consolidation Act 2010: Section 85G concerns the manner of reporting by a payment service provider to Revenue, and Section 85H set out the period for which Revenue is required to retain the reported information, and sets out the requirement on Revenue to transmit the information to CESOP. These Regulations are the second of two sets of Regulations which transpose EU legal provisions relevant to CESOP into Irish law with effect from 1 January
