Back in March, in a brief scan through the new 'Progamme for Government' looking for film-related nuggets I mentioned that the exhibition trade would be glad of the proposed reduction in the 13.5% VAT rate.
The Government yesterday confirmed a reduction in the rate to 9%. This will mean a reduction in the VAT take from cinema tickets of about €5.3m (from around €15.9m to €10.6m) in a full year.
A €10 cinema ticket should now be €9.60, or less if the trade really want to reverse what appear to be faltering admissions this year.
