I am advised by Revenue that the estimated first and full year costs to the Exchequer of the Deputy's proposals are set out in the table below. The changes in the income tax rate bands are listed for single taxpayers, but the estimates include commensurate adjustments made for all other taxpayer categories.
First year cost | Full year cost | |
---|---|---|
30% tax rate on the balance over €36,800 | €3.4bn | €4.0bn |
30% tax rate on band of €36,800 to €40,000* | €310m | €355m |
30% tax rate on band of €36,800 to €50,000* | €1,020m | €1,175m |
30% tax rate on band of €36,800 to €60,000* | €1,490m | €1,720m |
*Assumes that 40% rate applies above this level.
