I propose to take Questions Nos. 163 to 166, inclusive, together.

I am advised by Revenue that the breakdown of the numbers of income earners at the different USC rates (including numbers of those exempt) from 2012 to 2014 is available at

.

The tax year 2014 is the most recent year for which complete tax returns data are available at present. However, I am further advised that the Revenue Ready Reckoner, available at, shows on page 3 projections for 2017 for the same breakdown of earners.
