Basic question on pre-letting expenses and vat

[MidlifeCrisis]

Hi,
I apologise for this silly question in advance...
I am renovating a property ahead of renting it out.
The painter has quoted €1750 + vat and €425 for the paint.

I assume the vat rate for this is 13.5?
From all of this, how much (or how do I work out) how much of this expense I can claim back from revenue?

Thanks in advance for the helpful answers!

VAT is 13.5% - is the 425 inclusive or exclusive of VAT?

the 425 is me buying the paint for the painter to work with. So guessing there is vat already included in the sale price in Woodies?

Just jumping on here with a side note observation...

So the deductions described in the revenue document are not applicable for airbnb type lettings it seems.

10,000 deduction is not too shabby.
