Government don’t want any reduction in its money grab. Even though everyone is facing massive cost of living pressures
€41.67 more per month.
€9.61 more per week.
Better than €0.00 more per month / per week, but it will be swallowed up like *that* with inflation
I didn’t know this budget would be sponsored by Tesco… *Every little helps*.
Actually farcical!….. Tax cuts for landlords.!.. Fuck off…”oh and here peasant have 500 euro will that shut ye up?”

Has anyone heard of plans for people who are on 20 to 40k?
Significant savings. 🙄 Really? Fck off.
Cutting tax on rental income to 25% would surely be political suicide
That’s all. They really built this up way too much.
less than 10e a week
a house is 300k+ almost everywhere
Woop de fucking do. Now all I need is to find another grand and a half to pay for the electricity hikes.
Money for the boys and “maybe” €500 for everyone else if you are lucky. Like a bad joke.
But won’t someone please think of the poor downtrodden landlords?
Great, so we’re still a fair bit worse off than last year due to inflation. €46 a month is an absolute joke
I see the logic of reducing landlord tax despite the obvious ‘for the boys’ thought process. Some people I know have been put off by the high tax % on renting their homes. But if the tax were to be reduced it would be more attractive to enter the market which will mean more housing available to rent
Isnt the government talking about social welfare getting €15 a week rise.
Meanwhile workers get just under €10 a week?
What kind of fucking sick joke is this?
This was always going to be the case. Tax cuts were never going to amount to much, especially for those on less money, and anyone saying they were is completely out of touch with reality.
I’d prefer if that money were spent on something useful instead, like public transport or infrastructure or fucking something instead of just this bullshit.
Jesus this is a pathetic intervention. Way below what I had expected. Welcome Sinn Fein
So just to clarify, this budget is allegedly the one to help the squeezed middle and that very same squeezed middle is going to get less money into their pockets than someone on the dole? Am I reading that right?
Fine Gael have lost the plot if they think that’s a satisfactory increase in the threshold. It isn’t even the bare minimum I expected. Beyond a joke.
Working Class. Pay for everything and get nothing back as per fucking usual.
I’d much rather than 500 go towards trying to fix any of the problems we’re currently facing.
Insulting. May as well be nothing
As expected, something completely insignificant to look better than doing nothing.
Jaysus, they’re giving it away.
It’s too little. They need to axe the USC completely. Then pass a law that no tax on income can ever be over 48%.
Most don’t want to hear this, but these are the rainy days that you prepare for. It’s going to be tough for everyone, relatively I guess but this won’t be the last financial pressure for anyone. Best prepare, check our /r/irishpersonalfinance
Bit shoddy, really. Does this not mean that, percentage wise, social welfare recipients will get twice as much extra than those earning 50k?
​
Seems it’s a fairly lopsided approach.
I’m raging about this!
Why in gods name can’t we have a political party who’ll reward the tax paying middle earners? Lobby groups for rich and poor dominate the political discourse. Pathetic.
