flag CEO calls for review of Ireland's home heating VAT rates to reduce rural burden.

flag Fuels for Ireland CEO Kevin McPartland called for a review of Ireland's home heating VAT rates, arguing the current system places an unfair financial burden on rural residents. flag He noted that oil users in rural areas pay a higher 13.5% VAT compared to gas users at 9%, with 60% of rural homes relying on oil. flag McPartland urged the government to move beyond short-term fixes and conduct a strategic, expert-led review of all fuel taxes, citing Spain's recent adjustment as proof that changes are feasible.
