It is less than that; I have the figure. I just wanted to get confirmation on it. The marginal tax rate is the income tax rate, the USC rate at the top, which is 8%, and then the PRSI rate. For those who earn between €32,800 and €70,000 the maximum they would pay is 49% to 40% on a portion of their salary on PAYE, 5% USC and 4.1% PRSI. Is that correct? They would be under the 50%. Only those who earn more than €70,000 would pay more than 50%.
