2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade

Ms Josephine Feehily:

The decision would have been taken towards the end of last year and we acted on it from the beginning of this year. We would always begin by pursuing the business, or asking it first, before sending it out to districts. That is the only reason. However, I take the Deputy's point that it is late, but perhaps better late than never.
