United Kingdom missing from the IE Standard Rate (23%) tax rule

[just444]

Hey guys, I just realized that all my shops don't apply 23% vat to orders placed by the UK customers. I can see that United Kingdom is not listed in the IE Standard Rate (23%) tax rule. Is this intentional? Has anyone experienced this issue? Is there any way to add UK to the list? When I check the ie.xml localization file UK is listed there.

<taxRule iso_code_country="uk" id_tax="1" />

Is there any reason why only 26 countries are listed? Am I missing something?

Thanks
