Rate for food and attractions to drop to 5% next week
The 5% VAT rate on food and attractions will be a welcome boost for the "suffering" hospitality industry.
That's according to Enterprise Minister Laurence Skelly.
The Isle of Man Government confirmed it will reduce the rate from next Wednesday until 12 January next year in line with an announcement by UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak earlier this week.
Despite the impact on the Island's income, Mr Skelly says it's a much needed step:
Mountain Road to stay closed amid wintry conditions
Teams focussing on salting lower routes
Wintry weather: Airport to remain closed today
Decision on tomorrow's services to be made later
New weather warning for ice issued by Ronaldsway Met Office
Yellow warning to remain in place until tomorrow
Wintry weather: Schools to remain closed all day
Review at 10.30am confirms sites are not safe for pupils to access
