Finance Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-11
============================================================

Sean Fleming (FF), Laois-Offaly

We will take it year by year. With effect from 1 November 2020, hospitality and tourism related services and goods currently subject to a VAT rate of 13.5% will, on a temporary basis, be subject a reduced rate of 9%. This will apply to catering and restaurant supplies, tourist accommodation, cinemas, theatres, museums, historic houses, open farms, amusement parks, certain printed matter and hairdressing. This change will apply from 1 November 2020 to 31 December 2021, which is a 14-month period. That is good news. It is until the end of next year.
