      This is a bit of a silly argument from Sinn Féin. VAT by its nature is designed to fall on the final consumer, as it’s a consumption tax. Businesses reclaim VAT on almost all inputs (energy, materials, equipment etc.), so households will naturally end up paying most of the VAT on things like electricity and gas. They single out data centres, but the same would be true for almost any sector.

      Is it criteria to become a Sinn Fein member that you have to purposefully mislead people?

      >Large energy users tend to pay much lower rates on their energy than consumers, because they can negotiate directly with their supplier and can skew their energy use to times when electricity is cheaper, such as at night. Because of this, they end up paying less Vat.
