I have a total tax take in mind at which stage we will leave. Due to a new baby we have voluntarily reduced our combined income for a better work life balance, so this has mitigated the tax increases of recent years.
I also only do overtime for time in lieu now. Up until 2 years ago I did some freelance translation work, which I have given up, as I am not willing to work for less than 50% of the reward. Another example of tax increases reducing the total tax take!
Presumably someone else took on that work so I'm not sure if the total tax take was reduced?

The company I dealt with is based in Germany. I know for a fact they do not have other translators based in Ireland; generally speaking translation work is usually demanded to be done by a native speaker, ideally living in the country.
So in my case, yes, even that little extra income that I generated is now lost to the Irish Revenue.
