Written answers

Minister for Finance

The Deputy should note that any decision in relation to extending the timeframe for the reduction in VAT on gas and electricity to nine per cent will be made in the context of the Budget and, as part of our normal annual Budget preparations. In this context, various options for tax policy changes will be considered by the Tax Strategy Group prior to Budget 2023.
