Calls for Vat exemption for slurry bags

Slurry bags can be an efficient and cost-effective way of increasing slurry capacity.

Slurry bags are much more common overseas, for example, like this one in the Netherlands.

A leading Dail Deputy has called on the Department of Finance to direct Revenue to make slurry bags VAT reclaimable for unregistered farmers.

“This is common sense and a fair approach as well,” said Tipperary TD Jackie Cahill, who is also chair of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
