Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: VAT Refunds to Unregistered Farmers: Revenue Commissioners (8 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: Mr. Egan means heat as regards an animal being in heat rather than heating water. Sorry. I misunderstood.

Jackie Cahill: With respect, Mr. Egan, the question being asked is if people who bought tanks in 2021 allowed to reclaim the VAT cost paid, whereas those who bought a milk tank that went into the system in 2023 were refused a VAT refund. Surely this is a change in the interpretation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: VAT Refunds to Unregistered Farmers: Revenue Commissioners (8 May 2024)
