Would it be a good idea to have a commission on behalf of the tax payers for some balance.

When they recommend more capital taxes to they want to reduce income taxes or is it just an exercise in taking more money from the same people. What happens when tax payers run out of cash?

Can someone explain how self employed increased prsi works. If a business pays prsi it is tax deductible so say profit 100k prsi 10k profit is 90k to pay tax on. For the self employed if profit is 100k and prsi 10k, the taxable income is still 100k ? Or am I missing something.

Even the shinners are afraid to go after farmers

We seem to be obsessed with how to extract more taxes from working people in this country. We seem to put no energy into being more efficient and lowering taxes and creating wealth. We are reliant on FDI to create the wealth which could suddenly decide to leave if we become non competitive due...

It looks like income tax is reliant on a pretty small number of people, just like the corporation tax! if a new government increases these taxes by phasing out tax allowances for incomes over 100k and a new higher rate over 140k it will be increasingly difficult to keep very high skilled mobile...

Does tax include USC/PRSI

had anyone worked out what the % tax take is on domestic output compared to other countries? A more realistic figure. One pharmaceutical plant just paid 3b in dividends!!

all that economic activity includes high value exports which are taxed at a low level of corporate tax. This skews the tax take figures on this metric. The marginal personal tax rates in Ireland are very high up to 55 %. On top of income tax is property tax, stamp duty, and 23% vat On most...

It would be very interesting to know how many of the billionaires live and pay tax here at the rates normal people pay and if they are squing the figures. Will the revenue get 33% of the billions when they pass. I guess not. Headline newspaper articles are usually lazily written and by people...

3k per metre is probably a good guide given the recent oil and commodity rises, war in Ukraine and rampant inflation. You need to allow for site clearance and professional fees.

You all seem to be obsessed with collecting more tax, you never look at how the money is being used. One thing is certain government has an inexhaustible ability to spend other peoples money.

I am concerned about efficiency in spending all the tax payers money, the county councils have a very poor record in building, maintaining, managing and collecting rent in public housing.

Definitely get a QS. Will pay for themselves and short circuits any potential difficulties in negotiating claims with the builder during the build As the qs is on your side to keep costs under control. You may also need to make pre contract cuts to get to your budget and will be helpful here also.

My guess is SF will move to the centre once in power, after all MaryLou is private educated south sides, 5 bed house, big pension middle class, designer clothes, ex FF and is every bit as posh as posh Leo.

A big IF. They didn’t, most only had bank shares, they thought they were a one way bet, blue blue chip. They were not sophisticated investors. They were not bailed out. They were hard working self reliant people who paid taxes all there lives. An easy target for those re writing history.

The shareholders were not bailed out and lost everything. The foreign bondholders were bailed out. Many so called middle class people lost a great deal of their lifetime savings.

Interesting that they exclude farms from 1% wealth tax and not your residence, small business, pension fund value, and all other assets. This on top of increased income tax will hit the wealth creators hard.

my main issue is that it is impossible to pay down debt with a marginal tax rate of 55%. Institutional investors have a market advantage through government policy.
