The government is reducing the VAT rate on apartments to make apartment building more attractive. Despite what one commentator has said on the radio this morning, this will have no impact on the cost of the apartment for buyers.

The "attractiveness" of the VAT cut for developers is that they can make more profit per apartment (about €20k), they're not going to pass that on to buyers.

And it's not going to increase supply to the extent that apartment prices will come down.

The government has announced €360 million for Active Travel in this year's budget. On the face of it, it looks like they've maintained the same level of funding from the previous government.

Unfortunately, with inflation, this is effectively a 20% cut on what was set aside for Active Travel in 2020. We needed to see this increase to €450 million this year to keep up with inflation.

I know I shouldn't be surprised that this government is providing tax exemptions to landlords, loopholes for site hoarders, and increased tax deductions for developers in today's budget but my god, I didn't think it would be so blatant.
