Sir, – Much has been made recently of the removal of temporary or emergency actions such as reductions in VAT rates for the hospitality sector, and the reimposition of tax on fuel. Might one reasonably expect that the USC will therefore also be removed? And the increase in VAT to 23 per cent for other services? And all the other “temporary” taxation measures? – Yours, etc,
ROBERT O’NEILL,
Dublin 14.
