Member Bill Shimmins says government finances are faring well
A VAT cut on some food and attractions from twenty to five per cent, is a 'manageable' cost for government.
That's from Treasury Member Bill Shimmins, who says the move, which follows the UK, will support the Island's hospitality sector.
The reduction is to take effect from Wednesday, 15 July.
Mr Shimmins says government can comfortably deal with the cost:
"Substantial progress" made on design of new Castle Rushen High School, says minister
But MHK criticises pace of progress on Castletown site
Brief lapse in concentration can cause a serious or fatal collision, say police
Fines up to £5,000 for driving carelessly
No impact assessment carried out ahead of minimum wage decision
Less than 60 people responded to a survey
Douglas Coastguard aid overnight medical transfer
Patient transported by helicopter 936 from Caernarvon
Treasury 'still negotiating' backup options for MiCard users with no bank account
Service is due to be switched off at the end of the year
