A Sligo councillor has raised concerns about the current structure of Ireland's income tax bands. He argues that the existing system puts an unfair financial burden on workers with middle incomes. This group finds themselves squeezed as they earn too much for certain benefits but not enough to avoid high tax brackets. The councillor believes this pressure reduces the take-home pay of hardworking families. He is calling for a review of the tax thresholds to prevent this trend. Such a shift would provide relief to those feeling the brunt of inflation. The goal is to ensure the tax system distributes its weight more evenly across different earnings levels.
