Start with these three TikTok Shop Ireland numbers
For a standard-rated product in Ireland, begin with 23% VAT. On a €44.90 electronics accessory, the customer price is tax-inclusive, so VAT must be separated before product, platform, creator, advertising and delivery costs are assessed.

- Revenue after VAT
- Margin during and after the introductory fee period
- Profit after delivery and expected returns
What the 4% new-seller fee changes
Eligible new sellers may receive a 4% platform fee for up to 60 days. After that period, the rate normally returns to 9%, while correctly classified eligible electronics may qualify for 7%.
Do not build a long-term price around a temporary benefit until Seller Center confirms eligibility. Model the standard rate as the downside case before placing larger inventory orders.
Stress-test a Ireland selling price
Run the target price once, then add five percentage points to returns and three points to ad cost. Finally, switch to the post-promotion platform rate to see whether later inventory still contributes profit.
The calculator uses standard VAT as a default. Product-level reduced rates and special-territory rules require separate confirmation and should be documented for your tax records.
Where the numbers come from
Platform fees are sourced from official TikTok Shop seller or developer documentation. VAT defaults come from official EU guidance. If Seller Center shows a more specific category or promotional rate for your account, use that figure.
Frequently asked questions
What is the TikTok Shop platform fee in Ireland?
Use 9% as the standard planning rate. Eligible new sellers may receive 4% for 60 days, and certain correctly classified categories may qualify for 7%. Seller Center is the final account-level reference.
What is the standard VAT rate in Ireland?
The EU table lists 23% as the standard rate. Reduced rates or regional rules may apply to particular products or destinations.
Can I reuse the same selling price in another EU market?
Usually not without testing it. VAT, currency, delivery, returns and acquisition costs differ, so compare each market with its own local selling price and cost assumptions.
