Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that this year’s budget will contain a tax package that will enable middle-income people to “keep more of the money they earn”.
The Fine Gael leader said, however, he was not going to be “prescriptive” about whether this would come in the form of a new tax rate or changes to tax bands.
It comes just days after the Government confirmed that it will have a budget surplus of €26bn budget surplus over the next two years.
