Every bi-monthly VAT3 cycle brings the same production pressure — and for a Waterford practice with multiple VAT-registered clients, that pressure compounds quickly. Exuberant Global provides dedicated offshore VAT specialists who prepare accurate, review-ready VAT3 returns for all your Waterford clients well ahead of every Revenue deadline, so your team concentrates on review and client advisory rather than production.
Your data is 100% secure. NDA signed on day one.
For any Waterford practice managing a significant number of VAT-registered clients, the bi-monthly VAT cycle creates a recurring production burden that compounds with every client added to the book. VAT3 returns require accurate reconciliation of bookkeeping records, correct application of Irish VAT rates, proper treatment of reverse charge and cross-border transactions, and timely submission via Revenue's ROS portal — all within a tight filing window that does not move regardless of what else is happening in your practice.
Exuberant Global takes that production burden entirely off your team. Your dedicated VAT specialist prepares each return from the underlying bookkeeping records, reconciles input and output VAT, flags any items requiring your professional judgment, and delivers a complete, review-ready VAT3 pack well ahead of the Revenue deadline. You review, make any necessary adjustments, and file. We do not appear anywhere in the picture.
"Waterford practices that outsource their VAT preparation to us meet every bi-monthly deadline across their full client base — without a single Revenue surcharge, and without their senior accountants spending an hour on production work."
The VAT3 filing pressure is not just about completing the form — it is about the volume. A Waterford practice with 35 VAT-registered clients faces 210 VAT return deadlines every year. Each requires bookkeeping reconciliation, rate verification, and timely ROS submission. Add VIES reporting, Intrastat obligations, RTDs, and the growing complexity introduced by post-Brexit EU trade rules and OSS/IOSS schemes for any e-commerce clients in your book, and the total production load is substantial.
By outsourcing VAT preparation to Exuberant Global, Waterford practices eliminate the production bottleneck before it builds. Your dedicated VAT specialist works through returns in a structured cycle throughout the bi-monthly period — not in a compressed rush as the deadline approaches. Each return is prepared methodically, reconciled to the underlying ledger, and returned to you with full supporting workings. Your review becomes a quality-check, not a production exercise.
Waterford's business mix spans manufacturing, retail, hospitality, agriculture, construction, professional services and healthcare — each with specific VAT rate considerations. Our VAT specialists are trained in the full range of Irish VAT rates and their application: the standard 23% rate, the 13.5% rate for construction, fuel and certain services, the 9% rate for hospitality and tourism businesses, the 4.8% agricultural rate, and zero-rated and exempt categories. Rate selection is handled correctly at the preparation stage — your team does not need to verify it on every line item.
Waterford's manufacturing and trade-oriented business community means many practices serve clients with cross-border VAT obligations. We handle VIES returns for intra-EU B2B supplies, Intrastat declarations for goods movements above the relevant thresholds, reverse charge accounting for EU-sourced services, and OSS/IOSS return preparation for e-commerce clients selling into the EU consumer market. These are areas where errors attract Revenue scrutiny and penalties — our specialists handle them as routine procedure, not as difficult exceptions.
At the start of each VAT period, your dedicated VAT specialist is briefed on any changes relevant to that cycle — new registrations, altered VAT rates, unusual transaction types. They work from the bookkeeping records already in the client's accounting software, reconcile all VAT accounts, prepare the VAT3 workings, and return a complete pack including the return figures, reconciliation schedules, and clear notes on any items that need your professional judgment. You review, adjust where necessary, and file via ROS. The review process for a well-prepared return rarely exceeds 15 minutes per client.
VAT preparation demands Irish VAT knowledge and attention to detail — but it does not require a senior accountant to produce it. That profile is expensive and difficult to retain in Waterford. With Exuberant Global, you access exactly the level of expertise needed, at 60% of what an equivalent local hire would cost, with no fixed employment commitment and the ability to scale hours up or down with your VAT client volume at any point during the year.

Contact Our TeamYes. All our VAT specialists are trained in Irish VAT legislation and Revenue Commissioners requirements. We apply all Irish VAT rates correctly — 23%, 13.5%, 9%, 4.8%, zero-rated and exempt — and prepare returns in the exact format required for your practice to review and file via ROS.
Yes. We prepare VIES returns for clients making intra-EU B2B supplies of goods or services, and Intrastat declarations for businesses whose EU goods movements exceed the relevant thresholds. We also handle OSS and IOSS returns for Waterford e-commerce clients selling to EU consumers.
Yes. We apply reverse charge VAT correctly for construction sector subcontractor payments under Irish rules, for digital services received from non-Irish EU suppliers, and for other intra-EU service purchases where the recipient accounts for VAT. These are resolved at the preparation stage, not raised as issues for your team to resolve.
Your practice controls all Revenue filing. We prepare the complete return with reconciliation workings and deliver it for your review and approval. Once approved, your practice files via ROS. We do not submit directly to Revenue without your authorisation — your client relationship and Revenue agent status remain entirely yours.
Yes. We calculate partial exemption recovery percentages for mixed-supply businesses, track Capital Goods Scheme intervals and prepare annual CGS adjustments, and handle VAT on property transactions including the joint option to tax. These areas are included in the standard service, not charged separately.
