Commitment

Index income tax credits and bands to wages

What this means

  • Fianna Fail promised to increase income tax credits and the standard rate cut-off point every year, so workers keep more of their pay as wages rise.[source]
  • The party said all tax changes would be matched at a minimum to rising prices, protecting people from paying more tax simply because of inflation.[source]
  • This commitment was made in Fianna Fail's manifesto for the November 2024 general election and is currently at the promised stage only.[source]
  • The policy falls under finance and taxation and would affect income tax payers across Ireland if delivered by a Fianna Fail-led government.[source]
  • No delivery date was set, so voters and oversight bodies should watch future budgets to check whether this annual indexing is actually applied.[source]
