I am advised by Revenue that a 1% increase in the average effective rate of income tax on taxpayer units with gross incomes in excess of €400,000 would raise an estimated €37m and €49m on a first and full year basis respectively.

This estimate is based on actual data for 2017, the latest year for which data are currently available. Taxpayers who are married or in a civil partnership are counted as one taxpayer unit and their incomes are combined.
