One in four irish workers pay no income tax because they fall outside the threshold. A brief summary of taxation in Ireland is given below - the figures shown are effective from Jan 2009 Note: As from Jan 2009 there is also a 1% Income Levy on most incomes - see more about the Irish Income Levy Rules here Calculation of income tax due is done by applying the percentage rates shown below and then deducting the tax credits from the tax due. For example A single person employee earning 34000. Tax due = 20% which is 6800. Tax credits are 3590 - so tax due is 6800 minus 3590 - Total Due = 3210 per year. This could be further reduced by other tax credits for refuse charges or trade union subscriptions.
