True, but as a result of high taxes we have a thriving economy. Access to incredible public services (see the train from Dublin City to Dublin Airport for example), affordable medical care for all, a world class children’s hospital, low numbers of homeless citizens….
Oh wait…. Hang on….
It’s bike sheds. We only have expensive bike sheds.

Hmm…while I absolutely agree that the tax burden on middle income earners is ridiculous, I don’t understand the obsession with low income earners not paying taxes. Pointing down at the poor instead of up is just disgusting…..
I wouldn’t mind paying higher tax if we were getting value for money in terms of infrastructure and public services.
However in Ireland we most certainly aren’t, so you’re left wondering where our taxes are actually going?
Probably only actually keep 25% of your actually wage after tax
It’s like those Scandinavian high-tax social democrat systems… except in Ireland, you don’t get anything in exchange.
Yeah, it’s great when I get my bonus in work and I have to share over half of it with the Revenue.
And whether you’re a bin man or a brain surgeon, you retire on the exact same state pension. That’s not right.
Property tax is minuscule in this country. Which I find really strange. Like a tv tax isn’t a whole lot less for some, and that’s for the tv but the house.
Our corporate tax rate is very low though.
Of course. We refuse to tax wealth (including property) in any meaningful way, leaving the tax burden on wage earners.
A meaningful property tax would allow us better services without income tax rises
Eat the rich.
Well, looks like Ireland’s tax system is the real pot of gold for the government. So, if you’re working hard in Ireland, just remember: you’re not just paying taxes, you’re contributing to the national treasure chest.
I’m tired, boss
