Hospitality VAT Harmonisation - Amendment 2

‘further acknowledges the opportunities in integrating all-island tourism offers; expresses concern of the impacts an inconsistent approach to VAT on the hospitality sector and the potential severe damage from the introduction of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) in achieving this aim; calls on the Minister for the Economy and the Minister of Finance to work with the Irish Government to develop and jointly advocate for proposals to HM Treasury and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland for a harmonised VAT rate for hospitality businesses across the island of Ireland and to waive the need for an ETA for tourists travelling on the island of Ireland.’
