On the question of valuation of social housing, given that there is such a reduction in the price of property generally across the economy, what is the mechanism for doing that, and what is...

Finance Bill 2011: Committee Stage (26 Jan 2011)

Brian Hayes: Will the Minister of State give some examples to the House of foreign-based mobile traders? Is the notification period to be extended? That would seem sensible enough as a means of making it clear to the authorities that a certain trader is coming such that they could ensure they have the wherewithal to deal with the matter.

Brian Hayes: Section 53 is effectively an amendment of the principal Act. Where did it come from? Was it flagged to the Department by the Revenue Commissioners? Who lobbied for a change to the principal Act?

Finance Bill 2011: Committee Stage (26 Jan 2011)

Brian Hayes: Is this section an amendment to the principal Act in respect of the application of VAT to immovable goods provided by public bodies?

Finance Bill 2011: Committee Stage (26 Jan 2011)

Brian Hayes: I did not have an opportunity to refer to the betting tax issue when it was being discussed in an earlier section. I am dealing now with section 57 but I am aware that the House dealt with the betting tax issue earlier.

Finance Bill 2011: Committee Stage (26 Jan 2011)

Brian Hayes: I just want to ask a question. The third section of this new section refers to the VAT on betting. The first section deals with the question of postal services and the second section on cultural institutions.
