Minister for Finance

I propose to take Questions Nos. 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126 and 127 together.

I am advised by Revenue that, following the announcement of Budget 2025 on 1 October 2024, Revenue is in the process of updating its income tax estimates model to take account of these changes. Once finalised, Revenue will publish an update of the Ready Reckoner, which enables calculation of the cost or yield arising from a range of potential changes to tax charges, by 25 October 2024 on the Revenue website at: www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/ready-reckoner/index.aspx

Once published, Revenue will then be in a position to provide estimates for 2025 relating to changes to income tax policy, on a post-Budget 2025 basis.

I am further advised that Revenue cannot provide estimates for later years due to the unknown nature of the future tax base and future economic behaviour.
