Vol. 444 No. 7
37 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Finance the number of PAYE employees paying income tax; the number of these who received income from more than one employer; and if this information is available in respect of employees of State and semi-State organisations.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that an estimated 790,000 taxpaying units will pay income tax under PAYE in respect of the income tax year 1994-95.
Statistics are not recorded or processed in a manner which would allow the breakdown of this number between employees with one or more employers or between State and semi-State employees to be provided. Such information could not be obtained without undertaking enquiries which could be carried out only at a disproportionate cost.
