Cooking gas, solar product prices to rise on felled Finance Act 2023

Households will pay more for cooking gas and solar power products if last week’s verdict by the Court of Appeal to strike out the Finance Act 2023 is upheld by the Supreme Court.

The Finance Act of 2023 had zero-rated Value Added Tax (VAT) on LPG, which helped bring down the cost of the product as the State moved to promote clean cooking.
