As the Deputy will be aware, in Budget 2021 I announced that the 9% rate of value-added tax would apply from 1 November 2020 to 31 December 2021 to the supply of restaurant and catering services, guest and holiday accommodation and entertainment services such as admissions to cinemas, theatres, museums, fairgrounds, and amusement parks.
Future tax changes are generally taken in the context of the Budget. Deputies will be aware that my officials prepare a series of papers containing tax options for the Tax Strategy Group to be considered in the context of the budgetary process, alongside a wide range of submissions from various stakeholders and lobby groups.
