Question:

211 Mr. P. McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the number of self-employed taxpayers in a number of income thresholds (details supplied) or nearest equivalent, in each of the past five years. [23540/02]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 207 and 211 together.

It is assumed that what the Deputy requires is the number of PAYE and self-employed income earners on the income tax record in the ranges of income specified for each of the past five years. I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested by the Deputy is as follows:
