Minister for Finance

As the Deputy will be aware, it is a longstanding practice that the Minister for Finance does not comment, in advance of the Budget, on any tax matters that might be the subject of Budget decisions.

However it should be noted that a zero VAT rate already applies to newspapers, including those supplied electronically.

Question No. 108 answered with Question No. 98.
