I propose to take Questions Nos. 738, 739 and 740 together.

The Deputy may wish to note that a Post-Budget 2025 Ready Reckoner is available on the Revenue Statistics webpage at:

www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/documents/statistics/ready-reckoner.pdf

The Ready Reckoner shows a wide range of detailed information, including the estimated cost or yield to the Exchequer of widening the standard tax rate bands. These figures are based on 2025 estimates from the Revenue tax forecasting model using latest actual data for the year 2022, adjusted as necessary for income, self-employment, and employment trends in the interim. Revenue's Ready Reckoner will be updated in advance of Budget 2026, when updated data is available.

For the convenience of the Deputy, the relevant costs are set out below:

Increase First year €m Full Year €m
€100 23 26
€500 112 128
€1,000 221 253
