Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 June 2014
45. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department has made representations to the Department of Finance in order to have organisations engaged in mountain rescue exempt from VAT. [27227/14]
View answerExemption from VAT is entirely a matter for the Revenue Commissioners and my colleague the Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan. I have not made representations to Minister Noonan to have mountain rescue organisations exempted from VAT. In recent exchanges with representatives of the organisations, both my officials and I have advised that it would be more appropriate for them to contact the Department of Finance in relation to this.
