I heard on the radio that according to the OECD we have the lowest taxation burden on the poor amongst the OECD members.
I have looked on their web site for the report in question but can't find it. Can anyone supply a link?
Is this a study on direct taxation.
Indirect taxes is particularly high here.
Very high service charges also serve to mask real taxation and, again, savages the income of the poor.
Headline increases in social welfare offer little comfort against 30% ESB increase since the last election and another 10% soon.This is just one example.
