Written answers

As requested by the deputy I have been provided by the Revenue Commissioners with reformatted tables of projected income levels and numbers of income earners for the income tax years 2011 and 2012 and these are as follows. The design of these tables is consistent with the format of the “Totals” section of Table IDS 1 in the “Income Distribution Statistics” chapter that is included in each of their Statistical Reports for 2009, 2010 and 2011 and which are available on the Revenue website at www.revenue.ie.

It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the tables relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Reports.

The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2010 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. These are, therefore, provisional and likely to be revised.

It should also be noted that a married couple who has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit.
