asked the Minister for Finance if he will remove VAT on greyhound feeding stuffs in line with the non-VAT element in bloodstock feeding stuffs.
Written Answers. - Greyhound Feeding Stuffs.
255.
Animal feeding stuff generally, other than dog food and pet food, is zero-rated for VAT purposes. Greyhound feeding stuff is not distinguishable from other dog food and is liable to VAT at the same rate, that is 25 per cent. It would not be possible to remove VAT from greyhound feeding stuff while maintaining the 25 per cent rate on other dog food. The matter is also affected by the constraints of EEC membership obligations.
