I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the numbers of PAYE income earners earning gross income at the levels mentioned in the question are set out in the following table in terms of 2011 incomes on an annualised basis. All PAYE income earners for Income Tax Year 2011 (provisional)

It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above table relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Report, 2009. 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. 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. In addition, numbers are rounded to the nearest hundred.
