The Tax and Welfare Commission has floated the idea of an extra “accommodation tax” levied on tourists to Ireland to support the cost of their use of public services while here. Photograph: Bryan O'BrienA proposed tourist tax would devastate the industry and provoke job losses across Ireland, representatives are warning.
“There is a real cost-of-living crisis right now, but there is also a cost of business crisis,” she said. The ITIF includes the Irish Hotel Federation, Restaurants Association of Ireland, vintners representatives, airliners, ferry operators and major tourist draws like the Guinness Storehouse. While it does not recommend a rate, it says similar levies around Europe average between €0.40 and €2.50 a night.
All meant to destroy small to medium sized business. Traitors.
What fresh madness is this? Talk about killing the goose that laid the golden eggs! Tourists already pay for services they use, in terms of their hotel/ BnB charges, etc. It’s not as if the country is over burdened with free public services, is it? This is gouging
560 for 2 nights in 3 star in Cork in September.. gouging much?
What's next? Flatulence Tax!🤬
