The issue of the 25% non-trading rate and the 33% rate is very important. It is nice to hear the witnesses from the Irish Tax Institute argue for the retention of the higher bands for once. If I understood Mr. Coffey correctly, the combined effect of abolishing those two rates would mean €425 million less to the Exchequer. Is that correct?
