🚨🚨Restaurants group reiterates calls for permanent restoration of 9% VAT rate ahead of October Budget
Restaurants Association of Ireland said Budget 2025 will be solely assessed on the Government's decision regarding the sector's VAT rate https://t.co/8cWsvfpEOO
Had a productive meeting with Enterprise Minister @simoncoveney who listened to our concerns regarding the viability of Food led Businesses.
Government will respond with policy changes over the next few weeks to support our Industry.
At the end of the day.
🚨Vat and Viability are interlinked
Restaurants don’t pice gouge if concerts are in town . It’s time to split vat rate food vs accommodation. Restaurants have gone from crisis to crisis & this will protect existing jobs. An increase will see massive job losses throughout the country. #9%forFoodBusinesses
@Killybegsgirl I did ours for years. Finally had enough and now a delightful local man collects and returns a big bag of them. So worth the €12.
I Still do our aprons though 😭😭😭😭
VAT9% is crucial for pubs serving food currently experiencing a cost of business crisis. We need to extend VAT9% until the industry has fully recovered.
Delighted to see @WillowandWild open at Oaklawn, Leixlip opposite St. Mary’s GAA.
Great expectations based on scrumptious fare in their Maynooth eatery.
No support for independent small butcher's from irish independent Saturday in their turkey and ham selections for Christmas . Beating our heads off a stone wall.
