My Department is currently undertaking work on a full set of economic and fiscal forecasts as part of the preparation for Budget 2021.

In this process, my officials will make a projection of the 2020 outturn for Income Tax, including the component accounted for by the Universal Social Charge (USC) and will be able to provide the Deputy with the requested estimate at that stage. The actual outturn for USC for the year will be published by the Revenue Commissioners in 2021.
