VAT increases in loan applications

Summary

Treacy asked whether lenders were factoring the building VAT increase into loan decisions; the Chair ruled this a separate matter from the specific agreement under discussion.

Is the Minister aware that since the increase in VAT on building some financial institutions have changed their system of deciding on loan applications and the VAT increase is being taken into account against the borrowers?

You could spend weeks discussing that. It is a totally separate question.
