I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested, estimated by reference to the income tax year 2008, is as follows:
| All Income Earners 2008 | ||
| Range of Gross Income | Gross Income within the Range | Numbers |
| € | € million | |
| 0 – 275,000 | 91,710 | 2,349,700 |
| 275,001 – 500,000 | 3,825 | 10,700 |
| 500,001 – 1,000,000 | 2,645 | 3,950 |
| Over 1,000,000 | 3,460 | 1,450 |
| Totals | 101,640 | 2,365,800 |
The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2005 adjusted as necessary for income and employment growth for the years in question. They are therefore provisional and likely to be revised.
It should be noted that a married couple who has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit.
