Like ourselves and other businesses in hospitality we’ve been silent on VAT for too long and take the brunt of everything (in all areas) when prices rise leaving the government free of any blame.
Hospitality is getting worse with hikes in prices from every angle and thankfully other places are taking a stand, so we at Parkland 33 will happily join the cause!
We pay the highest VAT in Europe by a good margin (20%) while across the border the Irish government charges 9% (as an example).
We encourage local businesses to do the same on this matter to get the message across to our government.
