Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 78 and 79 together.
The Deputy may wish to note that Revenue publishes data on the number of taxpayer units subject to the higher rate of income tax (40%) for the years 2019 to 2023, which are the latest years available for statistical analysis, on its website in their “taxpayers by tax band” publication, which is available on the Revenue Statistics webpage at:
