Irish Hairdressers Federation urges Irish government to restore 9% VAT rate for hairdressing industry in 2025 Budget submission.

The Irish Hairdressers Federation (IHF) has called on the Irish government to restore the 9% VAT rate for the hairdressing industry in its pre-budget submission ahead of the 2025 Budget. The IHF, representing hairdressers and hair salons across Ireland, also demands greater engagement with business owners, extension of debt repayment terms, 0% interest for legacy debts, targeted grants for high energy costs, and a reduction in employer PRSI contributions for employees in SMEs. The IHF claims the hairdressing industry faces its most challenging time since the recession over 16 years ago.
