These estimates have been generated by reference to 2018 incomes as calculated on the basis of actual data for the year 2015, the latest year for which returns are available, adjusted as necessary for income, self-employment and employment trends in the interim. The estimates are provisional and may be revised. These estimates assume the retention of the current 3% surcharge for Schedule D taxpayers on incomes in excess of €100,000.
