Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested, estimated by reference to the income tax year 2011, is set out in the following table:
|
Range of Gross Income |
Numbers |
|
€30,001 — €49,999 |
498,261 |
|
€50,000 — €70,000 |
231,794 |
|
€70,001 — €100,000 |
148,428 |
|
€100,001 — €150,000 |
70,892 |
|
€150,001 — €200,000 |
18,656 |
|
Over €200,000 |
21,506 |
It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above table relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Report 2009.
The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2009 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. These are, therefore, 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.
