The average effective tax rates are calculated as the percentage of the Income Tax liability to gross income and do not include liability to USC or PRSI.

These figures are estimates for 2015 from the Revenue tax forecasting model using actual data for the year 2012 (the most recent year for which data are available) adjusted as necessary for income, self-employment and employment trends in the interim. They are provisional and may be revised.
