The Income Levy is collected by the Revenue Commissioners as a component of Income Tax. In Budget 2010, it was forecast that income tax receipts of €11,530 million would be collected in 2010. The precise breakdown of this target between the individual components of Income Tax will be finalised in the context of preparing the monthly profiles by tax-head. As is customary, the monthly profiles for the forthcoming year are prepared following an analysis of the end-year outturn of the current year. However, at this stage it is expected that the yield from the income levy will be of the order of €11⁄2 billion in 2010. Monthly profiles by tax-head will be published in January 2010.
