It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above table relate to taxable income as defined in the Revenue Statistical Report, 2006. A married couple who has elected or has deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit. The figures are projected estimates; numbers are rounded to the nearest hundred and may be subject to further revision.
