The Revenue Commissioners have published the Budget 2015 Ready Reckoner, on their website's statistics pages at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html. The reckoner shows a number of indicative changes to Income Tax rates. While the Ready Reckoner does not show the specific costings requested by the Deputy, other changes can be estimated on a broadly pro-rata basis with those displayed in the Reckoner. The Ready Reckoner will be updated in due course to reflect post-Budget 2015 changes in Income Tax but the impact on the estimated costing in this case is expected to be relatively minimal.
