    All those tax calculators that appeared on websites after the budget to work out how much less off you will be appear to have been complete bollix. I'm twice as worse off as I was expecting.

    This statement is a grammar nazis wet dream! But i get get your point. tax is bad, boo!:D

    If you want to be a sycophant who is thankfull to FF for robbing all our money because of the stupid decissions theyve made then fair enough. Bend over and ask for another

    Epic point missing there.

    My PRSI and USC together are less now than my PRSI and Income levy pre budget and no change in my PAYE

    How is that? I want me some of it!

    I'm getting paid on Tuesday for the first time in 40 days. My cc is maxed. My old landlord has €780 belonging to me because of a mix up in cancellation of my standing order and has taken the entire month before pulling his hand out of his ass to do anything about it. All going well I'll get it on Tuesday. Needed to get a loan off my old man to sort my own rent this month thanks to all of that.

    My bank account has AIDS right now.

    Bad AIDS.

    Ah I see. Hope its not too personal but does that mean your on a relatively low wage. If thats the case then I'm happy your paying less

    how did you pull that off?

    by pulling people off!

    I know, I'm just so angry right now I can barely string together a sentence. My net pay has been reduced by about 8%, and its just going to be worse next year, and the year after that.

    Taxes? Imagine that.

    It's impossible to moan about this stuff.

    If you're well paid, you can afford to pay it. And you should be grateful that you have a job at all.

    If you're badly paid, you should be grateful to other people for paying your share. And grateful that you have a job at all.

    If you're unemployed, you should be grateful for other people paying your share. And grateful that your welfare payments are higher than in most other places. And be grateful that you're not dead.

    And thus we are divided and conquered.

    Fcuk off Brian..............

    My post was apparently ambiguous. I am vehemently opposed to the economic policies of FF.

    Direct your personal abuse elsewhere.

    Nope, going by CSO figures I'm just over the national average. Don't hate me

    Not your fault at all. It lenihans.

    Im under national average. PRSI is down but the 2% on the first 5 grand, 4% percent on the next 10 and 7% on the remainder are all less that the difference in PRSI for you?

    That sounds so bizare i'd be carefull that who ever does your payroll didn't screw up and you'll end up paying it back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,916 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    :rolleyes:

    You're in the 25% tax band ?
    I'm probably paying more tax than your entire wages.

    I pay 57% tax gross to net including social charges etc.

    Ireland's not that bad in comparison.

    where do you live? I have no problem with high taxes if they get spent on benifits for the general general citizenry rather than fúckers in bentleys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,257 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    congratulations, i have a huge penis:rolleyes:

    I heard the bigger it is the more tax you pay and all you're left with is a little stub of something that looked great on paper, but in reality is pretty small.

    €40 down on last months wages. Fun.

    Although, I saved myself €170 this week on my car insurance and changing my internet package.

    So I'm up, right?

    I'm off to Vegas to play blackjack, I should make a fortune!

    Meh, I thought Ireland was going to have some sort of mental tax with all the whining I've been hearing about since last year.

    Just did a comparison against the new tax calculator and I would have well over €600 extra in my pocket every month if I was living in Ireland. Not too bad there yet, I'm already paying water tax, property tax and would be happily settle for €1.50 a liter for petrol.

    mental , whining , ireland , you got it in one .

    might be good idea for anybody to do a comparison in tax with even the uk ,

    now in 2 or 3 years time we might well have reason to whine

    At this stage i'm essentially working about a day and a half a week for nothing.

    People blame the banks and the politicians in Mercs but the biggest drain on the economy is Social Welfare and public healthcare (the recepients of both of these things seem to overlap an awful lot strangely).

    What really kills me is that if you work you pretty much only put in to the system and can't claim a bloody thing back. I'm a single guy in his twenties and the only "benefit" i get is mortgage interest relief and that's time limited.

    I know the argument is that if you're working you can afford the day to day bits and bobs but **** me if it doesn't gall me to hand over a couple of hundred plus a week just so Anto and his mates can be babysat by the state because they are incapable of working for whatever panty-waist liberal excuse they've latched onto.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,650 ✭✭✭sensibleken


    yeah but those tax calculators arent worth shít. I used one and it told me i was only down 25 quid a month. chac an tairbh!

    No it isn't. and if you think the 450,000 people are on the dole because its a great laugh you are extremely naive.

    About a quarter of them have been on the dole for years. What do you believe is historically the biggest draw on the public finances?
