Raise USC thresholds and reduce the USC burden

What this means

• Fine Gael is a political party that made this tax promise in its November 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
• The commitment is to raise the point at which workers start paying the 3% USC rate, moving the threshold from 27,382 euros up to 40,000 euros.[source]
• Fine Gael also promised to scrap the extra USC surcharge that currently applies to self-employed people, reducing their tax burden.[source]
• This commitment is still at the promised stage only, meaning it has not yet been delivered or legislated for.[source]
• Voters and watchdogs can use this promise as a benchmark to hold Fine Gael to account if it enters government after the 2024 election.[source]
