In the normal course of engagement on VAT, there are thresholds at which you have to register for VAT if you are above them. It is €85,000 or thereabouts. A business below that could opt to register anyway, but it is not mandatory. For these farmers, that option has been taken away. Is it not the case that they have to register for VAT now?
