Tax Collection
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-15
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

On overall tax receipts for the year, particularly when it comes to VAT, the advice I have received is that we expect to collect the VAT we indicated we would collect for the year. Currently, we are in line to deliver that target. I am aware of the role VAT can play in helping with the cost pressures businesses are facing. The programme for Government contains a clear commitment in relation to VAT for the food sector and gas and electricity. The decision in relation to VAT for gas and electricity has now been made to extend that up to budget day.
