Lord Hay of Ballyore – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Hay of Ballyore on 2015-12-15.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans, if any, they have for reducing the rate of VAT on the hospitality sector in Northern Ireland.

Lord O’Neill of Gatley

Normal EU VAT rules do not permit the variation of rates within a Member State. The Government currently has no plans to introduce a reduced rate of VAT for the UK hospitality sector.
