Your Seamless Move Across the Irish Sea
Ireland remains the most popular destination for UK expats, offering a shared language, a vibrant culture, and a high quality of life. Whether you are relocating to the tech-driven streets of Dublin, the culinary heart of Cork, or the rugged beauty of Galway and the Wild Atlantic Way, moving to Ireland in 2026 is a significant life event.
While the Common Travel Area (CTA) allows UK citizens to live and work in Ireland without a visa, the movement of household goods has changed. Since Brexit, removals to Ireland require formal customs declarations to ensure your belongings arrive without unexpected taxes. At Pask’s Removals, we specialize in “Making Moving Easy,” providing the expert logistics and paperwork support needed for a smooth transition to the Emerald Isle.

Navigating Irish Customs: 2026 Requirements
In 2026, all household goods moving from Great Britain to the Republic of Ireland must clear customs. To avoid the standard 23% Irish VAT, you must qualify for Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief.
Duty-Free Import (C&E Form 1076)
To qualify for relief from import duties and VAT, the Irish Revenue requires:
-
12-Month Residency: Proof that you have lived outside the EU (in the UK) for at least 12 consecutive months.
-
6-Month Ownership: Evidence that you have owned and used your belongings for at least six months prior to the move.
-
Intention to Stay: You must provide proof of your move, such as an Irish work contract, a lease agreement, or a utility bill in your name.
-
Form C&E 1076: This is the primary declaration form for “Relief from Customs Duty and VAT on transfer of residence.” We guide you through completing this accurately.
The PPS Number: While not always mandatory for the initial customs entry, having your Personal Public Service (PPS) Number ready will significantly speed up your integration and any subsequent vehicle registrations.

Living in Ireland: 2026 Tips for Newcomers
The PPS Number Your PPS Number is your unique reference number for all interactions with Irish public bodies. You will need it to work, access social welfare, and even register a car. Apply through MyWelfare.ie as soon as you have an Irish address.
Right to Rent & Buy Under the Common Travel Area, UK citizens have the same rights to rent or purchase property in Ireland as Irish citizens. No additional “foreigner” permits are required.
Healthcare (The Medical Card) While the UK and Ireland share some reciprocal healthcare agreements, most expats apply for a Medical Card or GP Visit Card based on their income. It is also common for professionals to opt for private health insurance (such as Vhi or Laya).
