EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Order revokes the Value-Added Tax (Refund of Tax) (No. 2) Order, 1972, which enabled commercial sea fishermen who were unregistered for VAT to claim repayment of the VAT element in outlay on fishing boats in respect of which they received a grant or loan of money from An Bord Iascaigh Mhara. This relief is now provided for in the context of Regulation 29 of the Value-Added Tax Regulations, 1979 (made under Section 13, of the Value-Added Tax Act, 1972 ).
