Finance Bill 2010 (Certified Money Bill): Second Stage.
3:00 am
Pearse Doherty (Sinn Fein)
The Seanad should be used as a forum in which to tease out different policies. We argue for a third rate of tax of 48% for individuals with incomes in excess of €100,000. That would be fair. If one has an income in excess of €100,000, one could be liable to pay tax on the excess at a rate of 48%. I cannot see why that should not be applicable. The Department of Finance has shown it could generate approximately €455 million were it to be applied.
