The VAT rate on milk recording has been increased from 4.5% to 13.5%. \ Donal O' Leary
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohue has been called on to reverse the decision to increase the VAT rate on milk recording by the Irish Creamery and Milk Suppliers Association (ICMSA).
Chair of the ICSMA farm business committee Shane O’Loughlin said the decision comes at a time when dairy farmers should be incentivised to milk record.
From an animal health, AMR and environment perspective, the Revenue Commissioners decision was “totally contrary to Government policy” O’Loughlin said.
He cited selective dry cow strategy, which involves a more targeted use of antibiotic treatments, as a positive step to address AMR concerns with the use of milk recording key to the move.
