Seanad
‹ Order of Business VAT on humanist celebrants
Summary
Senator O’Sullivan asks the Finance Minister to consider exempting humanist celebrants’ income from VAT, noting their scarcity and travel costs; the Chair indicates a response will follow.
That is his own business. I know that they do not pay VAT on it. It should be a level playing pitch. There are not many humanist celebrants in the country. There are probably fewer than one per county and some of them have to travel fairly good distances and travel expenses are also involved. Will the Leader address that matter with the Minister for Finance to see whether humanist celebrations, like all other religious income, could be exempt from VAT?
