I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the full year cost, estimated by reference to 2013 incomes, from abolishing the additional universal social charge of 3%, which is currently applicable to self-employed income in excess of €100,000, would be of the order of €130 million. This estimate is derived from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2010 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. It is, therefore, provisional and likely to be revised.
