Written answers

The estimated costings sought by the Deputy are set out in the table:

Earned Income Tax Credit

First Year Cost €m

Full Year Cost €m

€1,450

13.6

24

€1,550

26.7

48

€1,650

40

72

I am advised by Revenue that the estimated cost of increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit can be found on page 6 of the Revenue Ready Reckoner which is available on the Revenue website: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/documents/statistics/ready-reckoner.pdf.

Costs not displayed in the Ready Reckoner can be estimated on a straight-line or pro-rata basis from the costs shown.
