I would point out that the VAT rating of goods and services is subject to the requirements of EU VAT law, with which Irish VAT law must comply. The rate of VAT applicable to the supply of hurleys is the standard rate, which in Ireland is 21%. Under EU law there is no scope for applying a reduced rate of VAT to the supply of hurleys or other sports equipment.
