Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Is that in a full year or in the first year?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: The budget day documents gave a figure of €39 million for newspapers and news periodicals and digital editions.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: That is for the two that will be done now, but for the-----

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Where did the Department get the €6 million reduction for news periodicals?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Therefore, €6 million would be the additional cost for news periodicals. Is that correct?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Fine. In terms of their online editions, the Bill proposes to provide for zero-rate VAT for newspapers, including digital editions. How will Sunday newspapers work in this regard? What is the difference between a weekly published newspaper and a weekly news periodical? Is it the paper it is printed on? What is the definition in VAT law? Let us consider, for example, Phoenixmagazine and...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I support the measure but I am trying to understand it. I am using brand names and it is no reflection on any of the brand names I am using, including the Phoenixand the Sunday Independent, which I have already mentioned. Let us consider just e-publications. The Currencyis just an online publication. Will that now fall within the zero-rate VAT directive?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I appreciate that. It might have been unfair for me to ask a question about a specific company. I am not trying to talk about the actual online publication, but rather about the types thereof. A weekly Sunday newspaper - I do not want to give a brand name - which has a digital edition only will qualify for zero rate VAT in future.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: If a weekly current affairs magazine like Phoenixwas only in digital form, would it qualify for zero-rate VAT?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: That is okay.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Yes.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I go back to the original intention the Minister announced on budget day, which was that news periodicals would qualify for zero-rate VAT. A 9% rate of VAT will apply to those news periodicals. What is the distinction between a weekly online newspaper - because it must be deemed to be a newspaper - and a news periodical? How can I tell the difference between them? What are the...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: That is fine, but the problem is we are now dealing with a section that costs €33 million and the Minister is saying we do not know who is in and who is out at this time. It is crucial for us, as members of the committee who will be voting on this issue, to get clarity, even if that requires us going into private session. It is important for us to know what is in and what is out. I...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Can we go into private session for a few minutes?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Can we dispose of this issue now?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I move amendment No. 61: In page 97, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following: “Report on applying on the application of a zero rate of VAT on children’s car safety seats 56.The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the application of a zero rate of VAT on children’s car safety...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Yes, that would be helpful. As I mentioned in my opening remarks, the issue of school uniforms will be challenging given the directive. A note in terms of the safety of car seats would be beneficial between now and Report Stage. On that basis, I withdraw both of my amendments.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I move amendment No. 62: In page 97, between lines 23 and 24, to insert the following: “Report on applying on the application of a zero rate of VAT on school uniforms 56.The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on options for the application of a zero or reduced rate of VAT on school uniforms.”.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: On section 57, will the Minister clarify an issue? In a case of a parent of a group of companies where two of its subsidiaries bought partial interest of say 50% each in 18 residential homes, they would be caught under this measure because it would apply to the parent, would it not? You cannot define, okay.
