The 9% reduced VAT rate for tourism related services was introduced in July 2011 as part of the Government Jobs Initiative. The measure was designed to boost tourism and create additional jobs in that sector.  It is not the practice to comment on what measures may or may not be introduced in advance of the Budget.
