My wife used the old tax calculator on revenue.ie last year and then asked what I was doing with the extra 300 euro per month that I had not declared domestically but revenue insisted I had.
Twas a quite couple of days thereafter.
at least you lived to tell the tale , David !
Did anyone try the calculator and get a net income that when divided by 12 is not their monthly income.
All these “what the budget means to somebody earning €50,000″ articles must be infuriating to anybody who’s on €49,999,95.
You need to read the headline, it says for those earning “around €50,000″, so your €49,999.95 should be fairly similar to the above article, now for those on €47,599.90, its a different matter, they are the ones who will be annoyed!!!!!!!
have your say
