'Everyone will benefit' from VAT cuts in gas and electricity

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar says a 0% VAT rate is not possible but that a cut from 13.5% to 9% should help to ease the cost of living burden

The Government is to cut VAT on gas and electricity and provide a lump sum payment to those on the fuel allowance as part of a new cost-of-living package.
