Minister for Finance

I propose to take Questions Nos. 70 to 72, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that a Pre-Budget 2016 Ready Reckoner is available on the Revenue Statistics webpage at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/ready-reckoner.pdf. This Ready Reckoner shows a wide range of information including the number and percentage of income earners who pay tax at the lower and higher income tax rates as well as those who are exempt.

Information for earlier years is available at: http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/income-earners-usc.pdf.
