I have information on the progressivity of our tax code which is worth sharing. There are 2.6 million taxpayer units. The total yield from income tax and USC, universal social charge, is approximately €22 billion. The top 0.1% of income earners in receipt of 4.9% of gross income pay 11.4% of total income tax and USC. The top 25% of income earners in receipt of 60% gross income pay 83% of total income tax and USC.
