No suprise there
“Pretends to be shocked” gif
It took me about 3 minutes of pondering to realise that the headline didn’t mean the hospitality sector was more likely to ‘refuse’ VAT hikes than cuts.
Anybody know the cure for being thick?
So, like every other business in Ireland then ?
I hope they didn’t spend too much on the study, because the dogs on the street know this
You can’t pass on vat cuts overnight
Such a bizarre situation where the government is committed to passing a tax cut that no one but a select lobby group wants, that they’re not even trying to message as being good for anyone but that group.
Incredibly shortsighted and economic malpractice to cut taxes on businesses at a time of full employment
I’m struggling to see how Pat McDonagh of Supermacs needs this. It’s the likes of him that will gain the most, not the small village coffee shop with a small turnover
I heard one of the main hospitality sector lobbyists on Newstalk today explaining why the VAT cut is essential.
He did a very bad job of it, and as an impartial listener I came away thinking the sector definitely didn’t need or deserve the special intervention.
He just came across as whinging and entitled, with the attitude of “everyone else is making it big so where’s my bailout?”
I think the whole argument that businesses are going to the wall is pretty much moot. In normal economies, 17% of restaurants fail in the first year and 50% in the first five years. So the argument for government intervention is pretty much negligible.
Why should the taxpayer subsidise businesses that will ultimately fail?
Needed a whole study for this?
Irish business seems to be a bit greedy.
