My local Labour TD Joe Costello dropped in a pamphlet with, along with other useful information such as entitlements and tax rates, a handy pie-chart showing where Irish taxes will come from in 2008. Very interesting.
- Stamp Duties 6%
- Capital Gains Tax 7%
- Excise 12%
- Corporation Tax 14%
- Income Tax 29%
- Value-Added Tax 31%
- Other 1%
Now I’d really love to see a handy pie-chart as to where it goes., or in the words of the title of one of Aidan Murphy’s poetry collections, The Way the Money Goes.
