Reinstatement of the 9% VAT rate for small, independent restaurants, cafés and pubs must be top of new Minister for Finance’s agenda The Restaurants Association of Ireland has this afternoon welcomed the appointment of @JackFChambers as Minister for Finance. Deputy Chambers has a proven track record of backing SMEs in the hospitality sector, particularly in his constituency area of Dublin West. In the context of Budget 2025 and the urgent need for the reinstatement of the 9% VAT rate on the food element of the hospitality sector to stem the current tide of closures, it is important to note that: - The RAI met with Minister Chambers’ predecessor, Michael McGrath, last week who committed to strongly considering reinstating the 9% VAT rate on food as part of Budget 2025. - Minister Chambers’ coalition partners, @FineGael, unanimously passed a motion calling for the return of the 9% rate for food-led businesses at the party’s Ard Fheis in April. Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment @PeterBurkeFG has endorsed this position as recently as last weekend. - The Regional Independent Group and Rural Independent Group of TDs have submitted Dáil motions in support of the 9% rate, with the second of those being carried in the Dáil last week after the Government decided not to oppose it. - Recent polling conducted by Red C on behalf of the Business Post found that 64% of the public support the lower VAT rate for restaurants and cafés, while only 18% wanted to see the higher rate retained. Additional data from Amarach Research found that 67% of the public know of a closure of a small business in their area that has happened already in 2024. - A national, grassroots ‘VAT9 Now’ campaign driven by on-the-ground restaurant and café operators has exploded in popularity on social media, which led to VAT9 election posters being erected across the country during the most recent local and European elections. The Restaurants Association of Ireland and our CEO, @AdrianCummins, look forward to meeting with the new Minister for Finance in the coming weeks and gaining his support for the reinstatement of the 9% VAT rate for food-led businesses in Budget 2025 - the only measure that can allow us to avoid a further tsunami of closures and return long-term viability for our industry.

All across the country, the survival of Ireland’s small, independent restaurants and cafés - the heart of so many communities - has become a major election issue. The reinstatement of the 9% VAT rate for food-led businesses is the only way our industry can become viable again.

Update - 9% Vat Businesses reiterate demand for Vat cut after Michael McGrath’s Revenue debt warehousing tweaks The Restaurants Association of Ireland @RAI_ie said that the updated debt warehousing scheme would “not ensure long-term viability for the food-led hospitality industry,” and instead, called for the Vat rate to be lowered to 9 per cent immediately. businesspost.ie/article/busine… via @businessposthq

🚨New Report by @CroweIreland & @Failte_Ireland •Ireland’s temporary 9% VAT rate, for food (in a restaurant) ranks in the lower half of countries illustrated. A 13.5% rate would put us in the upper half. •Our VAT rate for alcoholic beverages is amongst the highest in the EU •Excise duty in Ireland on alcoholic beverages remains amongst the highest in the EU.

🔴9% Vat Rate In 2018, the Government at the time announced a vat rate hike to 13.5% for Hospitality based on a Department of Finance forecast of an extra €550m in 2019. Fact is the dividend was €241m for 2019 pre COVID as per Revenue.

Vat 9% The consequences of increasing the vat rate are immense !! ⬇️⬇️
Yeats County Inn@YeatsCountyInn

@sidkearney @adriancummins @RAI_ie €10,000 vat repayable becomes €15,000 at the same time Electricity prices trebled, Insurance near enough doubled, Gas doubled, Food, Beverages all up significantly, the risk is very real. Would put a typical family of 4 meal up minimum €2, and obviously that will affect sales.

Restaurants in Rural ireland will be decimated if the VAT rate goes back to 13.5%.Lots can hardly open throughout towns with rising costs.This will lead to closures and job losses. Now is not the time. We need recovery and growth - not inevitable price hikes within industry.
