Vol. 415 No. 1

Written Answers. - VAT on Cinemas.

Charles Flanagan

Ceist:

146 Mr. Flanagan asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the continuous closure of provincial cinemas throughout the country, having regard to ongoing VAT receipts; if, in the interest of maintaining the entertainment and social value of our cinemas throughout society, he will reduce the rate of VAT payable; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have received representations from various cinema interests regarding their views on the appropriate VAT rate for their industry.

The Deputy will hear my plans for VAT rates in the coming year when I make my Financial Statement later today.
