Budget Statement 2025 Dail Éireann — 2024-10-01 ============================================================ Jack Chambers (FF), Dublin West -----until the end of 2029. PRE-LETTING EXPENSES EXTENSION To continue to help owners of vacant property to bring that accommodation into the rental system, increasing the overall supply of rental accommodation, I am extending the relief for pre-letting expenses for landlords. This means that the relief will continue for a further three years to the end of 2027 in support of Housing for All. REDUCED VAT RATE OF 9% FOR GAS AND ELECTRICITY To continue supporting households and businesses as part of the Government’s cost-of-living package, I am proposing to extend the 9% reduced VAT rate for gas and electricity for another six months to 30 April 2025. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
