Poll: Do you think workers earning more than €44k should pay less tax?

The Irish government is considering raising the income threshold for the higher tax bracket, which is currently set at €44,000. This means individuals earning above this amount would fall into the 40% tax rate. Tánaiste Simon Harris mentioned that while there was no personal income package in last year's budget, increasing the threshold is now a priority. He emphasized that workers who receive promotions or overtime should retain more of their earnings. However, the exact extent of the proposed increase remains uncertain. The article asks readers whether they believe those earning over €44,000 should pay less tax.
