It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above table relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Report 2010.
The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2009 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. These are, therefore, provisional and likely to be revised.
It should also 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.

Income Tax Post Budget 2009 (Base Year 2009)

* Income tax figures are rounded to nearest hundred.
It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above table relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Report 2010.
The 2010 figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2009 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends for the year 2010. 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.
