I propose to take Questions Nos. 195 to 200, inclusive, together.

I am advised by Revenue that the estimated costs of increasing the exemption threshold for USC to the levels set out by the Deputy are given in the following table:

These estimates have been generated by reference to 2018 incomes as calculated on the basis of actual data for the year 2015, the latest year for which returns are available, adjusted as necessary for income, self-employment and employment trends in the interim. The estimates are provisional and may be revised.
