365. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the projected number of persons subject to USC in 2022, disaggregated by income band in intervals of €10,000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40383/22]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that based on the latest Ready Reckoner (post-Budget 2022), it is estimated that approximately 2.07 million taxpayer units will be subject to the Universal Social Charge (USC) in 2022. A full USC distribution can be obtained on the Revenue Statistics webpage at: revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/ready-reckoner/index.aspx
In addition, the projected number of taxpayer units subject to USC in 2022 disaggregated by the income bands outlined by the Deputy are shown in the table below. The Deputy will wish to note that the term “Taxpayer Units” includes jointly assessed couples who are treated as a single unit.
