Really worried about the proposed 4.5% increase in VAT this #Budget2019 ...... for small businesses like ours this shift in cost base will be disastrous. Tax the #fossilfuels #CarbonTax based on usage and not the #sustainable hospitality sector out of business! Seán Collender

There can be no doubt that increasing the VAT rate to 13.5% in #Budget2019 will result in businesses across Ireland closing their doors for good. #KeepVat9 Paschal Donohoe Anne Rabbitte @campaignforleo Robert Troy TD Michael Creed TD @MichaelRingFG Kate O'Connell Hildegarde Naughton
