It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above tables relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Report 2011.

The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2011 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. These are, therefore, provisional and likely to be revised.

The numbers of income earners shown in the tables counts a married couple who has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment as one tax unit although USC and PRSI are individualised charges and as such the yield is calculated on the basis of individual incomes.
