Covid-19 (Transport, Tourism and Sport): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-03
============================================================

Carol Nolan (IND), Laois-Offaly

I am calling for the reclassification of the VAT system. Apparently, the coach sector in the North of Ireland is at a competitive advantage. I have been inundated with calls from the bus and coach sector about this issue. They have spoken to me about the reclassification of VAT status to harmonise the island's VAT system.
Those operators feel it would be advantageous to the local economies, businesses and tourism.
