I will move briefly to another area, namely, the projected distribution of income earners. I have figures from 2012 and perhaps the witness could provide us with an update. The figures show that the number of people who are employed and earning an income, but who are exempt from paying income tax amounted to 37.7% in 2012, while those in employment, earning an income and paying tax at the standard rate amounted to 43.7% and those paying at the higher rate amounted to 18.6%. Does the witness have updated information for 2013?
