The information requested, estimated by reference to the income tax year 2010, is set out in the following table. However, because of the Revenue Commissioners' obligation to observe confidentiality in relation to the taxation affairs of individual taxpayers and small groups of taxpayers, the breakdown by income bands requested by the Deputy is not provided in relation to incomes exceeding €2 million due to the small numbers of income earners with incomes in excess of that level.

The minimum wage annualised at €17,542 and the new minimum wage annualised at €15,514 are included among the income ranges in the table. The latest available average industrial wage of €33,343, which relates to 2009, is also included among the income ranges in the table. It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above tables relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Report, 2006. The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2008 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. These 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.
