Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2005
238 Mr. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance the number of taxpayers in 2006; the number who will be on unchanged credits or bands, be exempt, pay at the marginal rate, pay at 20% rate and pay at 42% rate. [37803/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI assume the Deputy is seeking the estimated number of income earners projected to be in each category on the tax record in the event that there are no income tax changes in the forthcoming budget. I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the numbers are as follows:
|
Exempt |
Marginal Relief |
Standard Rate |
Higher Rate |
Total |
|
686,070 |
18,660 |
608,770 |
748,870 |
2,062,370 |
|
33.3% |
0.9% |
29.5% |
36.3% |
*Provisional and likely to be revised.
It should be noted that a married couple who has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit. The numbers of income earners above have been rounded to the nearest ten as appropriate.
239 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Finance if a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will be furnished with a P21 statement for 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37811/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a PAYE balancing statement or P.21 for the year 2004 will issue to the taxpayer in the coming days. There is no record of previous correspondence relating to this matter prior to the receipt of the request from the Deputy.
