Government urged to extend EWSS and 9% Vat rate further than currently planned

PwC calls for the extensions in a pre-budget submission

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe announced an extension to the EWSS and 9% hospitality sector Vat rate last month.

The Government has been urged to extend the wage support scheme for businesses and the 9% Vat rate for the hospitality sector well beyond their current scheduled end dates which were only announced last month.

In early June, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe announced the extension to the 9% Vat rate to September 2022 and moved the end of the employment wage subsidy scheme (EWSS) out to the end of this year.
