Income Tax levels in Ireland are amongst the lowest in the world - but still people seem to moan about it. A brief summary of taxation in Ireland is given below -

Calculation of income tax due is done by applying the percentage rates shown below and hen deducting the tax credits from the tax due. One in four irish workers pay no tax because they fall outside the threshold. For example
A single person employee earning 34000.
Tax due = 20% which is 6800.
Tax credits are 3520 - so tax due is 6800 minus 3520 - Total Due = 3280 per year.
This could be further reduced bt other tax credits for refuse charges or trade union subscriptions.
