Minister for Finance

I am advised by Revenue that the estimated first and full year yield to the Exchequer of introducing the additional income tax rates and bands as outlined by the Deputy would be of the order of €2,350 million and €3,015 million respectively. The estimated yields are calculated on a taxpayer unit basis.
