I assume the Deputy is referring to the Income Tax Ready Reckoner for 2010.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that, in view of the relatively limited purpose that would be served in updating the pre-Budget 2010 Ready Reckoner to a post Budget basis, they have no plans to devote resources to carrying out this relatively significant task. The need for it is further reduced this year because of the absence of any changes made to tax credits, bands or rates in Budget 2010. Costings for Budget 2011 will be based on a pre-Budget Income Tax Ready Reckoner which will be produced over the Summer and published on the Department's website in the Autumn in the usual way. Finally, I should point out that the Pre-Budget Income Tax Ready Reckoner for 2010 is available on my Department's website at www.finance.gov.ie
