Hi,
Apologies if this is in the wrong section...
The VAT rate for aspects of the hospitality industry are being reduced on July 1st from 13.5% to 9%.
I would post the URL but am not permitted due to lack of postage, so it can be read on the Revenue.ie site under Taxes and Duties> Value Added Tax> Current & Historic Rates of VAT > Rate change - Jobs Initiative 2011.
Was wondering if there is any obligation on suppliers to pass on this charge legally?
My wedding is booked for later in the year but the prices I agreed to were inclusive of the 13.5% VAT. I asked the hotel and they said due to the rising cost of doing business blah blah that they would be absorbing this and not passing it on as a price reduction (and would just change the VAT rate in the terms and conditions). So effectively, the food portion of the package has increased by 4.5% in what I feel is a most stealthy way.
Any advice much appreciated.
