Strongly agree

No, keep the current tax structure

Fine Gael has generally supported maintaining the current tax structure, with some minor adjustments.

Agree

No

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Fine Gael has shown some support for lowering taxes for the poor, as seen in their 2020 General Election Manifesto where they pledged to increase the point at which an individual pays the higher rate of tax to €50,000 for a single person, benefiting lower and middle-income earners.

Slightly agree

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

Fine Gael has shown some willingness to close tax loopholes for large corporations, as seen in 2011 when they agreed to maintain the 12.5% corporate tax rate but eliminate loopholes. However, they have not explicitly advocated for lowering the income tax rate.

Slightly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

While Fine Gael has not explicitly advocated for a flat tax, their general stance on lower taxes and fiscal conservatism might make them somewhat open to this idea. However, it would be a significant departure from the current progressive tax system in Ireland.

Disagree

Yes

Fine Gael, being a centre-right party, generally does not advocate for raising taxes on the rich. However, they have shown some flexibility in the past, such as in 2011 when they agreed to maintain the 12.5% corporate tax rate but eliminate loopholes.

Disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

Fine Gael is unlikely to support abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax, as this would be a radical departure from their traditional fiscal policies. They have consistently supported a balanced approach to taxation.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets
