I am advised by Revenue that, for 2019, the most recent year for which complete data are available, the aggregate amount of Income Tax paid by persons aged under 30 and 35 has been estimated to be as shown in the below table.  The equivalent figures in respect of the Universal Social Charge are also included in the table.
