People on the minimum wage will be brought into the tax net. The effect of what the Government is doing is to reduce by €40 per week the earnings of a person working 40 hours per week and to take from these earnings €8.42 on the universal social charge. This will bring the national minimum wage for someone working 40 hours per week to below €300 per week, specifically to €297.
