Notes:
(1) It is assumed that no tax reliefs or allowances are available other than the personal allowance, PAYE allowance, PRSI allowance and child allowance (in the case of the married taxpayer with two children).
(2) The figures for net disposable income are derived from the entries in the CSO series "Gross Earnings and Hours Worked for Male and Female Industrial Workers (Adult Rates) by Sector". The CSO data for transportable goods industries were used.
(3) The married examples assume that only one spouse was in receipt of a wage.
(4) Where in years up to 1985/86 inclusive no difference in annual net disposable income is shown between the married person and the married person with two children, this is due to the operation of the marginal relief provisions on incomes not greatly in excess of the exemption limits.
