Tax Code
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-22
============================================================

Pádraig O'Sullivan (FF), Cork North-Central

The Minister mentioned that the current proposal is not perhaps as flexible as the original proposal. I am not fully aware or au fait with what has happened previously. I ask the Minister to expand on why it is not as flexible as the original proposal. Second, I am aware that in the context of the negotiations around this issue at EU level, a list of supplies to which a reduced VAT rate can be applied is to be increased. Member states will also be allowed to make some supplies subject to 0% VAT. The emphasis here is going to be on issues regarding improving the environment, public health and the digital transition. I ask the Minister to comment on that.
