I am advised by Revenue that the following table sets out the estimated full year costs to the Exchequer from increasing the earned income tax credit of €550 as set out in Budget 2016 to the various levels as suggested by the Deputy, with the increase in the credit to taper out at income levels between €80,000 and €100,000. These costs also include the estimated yield to the Exchequer that would result in the tapering out of the existing €550 credit by five per cent per €1,000 for those who have incomes in excess of €100,000.
