Revealed: The boost in store for taxpayers from today as budget changes kick in

"Income tax changes alone could deliver savings of close to €800 for a worker on the average wage of €50,000, bringing financial relief to many households."

"The Government is increasing the main tax credits by €125 each, including the personal, employee, and earned income credits, thus enhancing disposable income for workers."

"The increase in the standard rate cut-off point means workers can earn more before paying the top tax rate of 40%, promoting higher earnings for middle-class families."

"Mr Chambers confirmed a reduction in the USC middle rate from 4% to 3%, which will benefit those earning between €25,000 and €70,000, improving their net income."
