Yes, you are correct. Any services that you receive from abroad, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the E.U., are deemed to be supplied by you. In english this means that you treat this a sale, charge vat at the appropriate rate (usually 23%), and then take a deduction (or input credit) for the vat you have charged yourself. The boxes on the vat return are T1 and T2. The reclaim assumes that you are entitled to reclaim the vat subject to the normal vat recovery rules. On your vat return there are also boxes E1, E2, ES1 and ES2 which relate to purchases and sales of goods/services to and from other EU countries and this will need to be completed.
If you are looking at the Revenue website a purchase from within the E.U. is called an intra-community acquisition and a sale to within the European Union is called an intra-community supply. An export, does not have its normal meaning, and is a sale to outside the European Union. An import is a purchase from outside the European Union.
