Question:

97 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Finance the proportion of PAYE taxpayers and taxpayers other than PAYE taxpayers who are earning under ?14,245 per annum; under ?19,170 per annum; under ?28,191 per annum; under ?40,420 per annum; under ?50,000 per annum and under ?75,000 per annum, estimated by reference to the income tax year 2003 and if possible by reference to the income tax year 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28667/03]

It is assumed that what the Deputy requires is the proportion of PAYE and self-employed income earners in the ranges of income specified as determined by reference to the income tax record. I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested, estimated by reference to the income tax year 2003 is as follows:

These figures are provisional and subject to revision. A married couple which has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit. The data for 2004 are not available at this stage.
