* Income tax figures are rounded to nearest hundred.
It should be noted that the income ranges shown in the above table relate to Gross Income as defined in Revenue Statistical Report 2010.
The 2010 figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2009 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends for the year 2010. They 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.
