Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2011
109 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the estimated cost to his Department of a 2% increase in the standard rate of VAT; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38468/11]
View answerSince its establishment in July 2011, my Department has operated a shared service arrangement with the Department of Finance in respect of certain goods and services acquired by one, or other, of the Departments. I understand that the Minister for Finance will provide the estimate requested by the Deputy using 2010 as a reference year and that will cover both Departments.
