Tax policies targeting high earners, banks, and luxury sectors are designed to impose higher taxes on wealthy individuals, financial institutions, and luxury goods and services. These policies aim to redistribute wealth, address income inequality, and increase government revenue for social programs. Proponents argue that such taxes promote economic fairness, reduce income inequality, and generate funds for essential public services. Opponents argue that these taxes discourage investment, hurt economic growth, and may unfairly burden certain sectors.

I think extreme high earners should be taxed over €250k but I think taxing people on €40-100k at the higher rate is wrong
@9ZLKG521wk1W
Somewhat however it must be highly regulated and should only target banks and sectors no high earners
@9ZKM6BG1wk1W
What exactly is a high earner ? For example a salary over 300,000 is what I would consider a high earner…
@9ZKJN331wk1W
Higher taxes yet but sector dependant - film industry for example is booming due to tax incentive creating a huge amount of work here in an incredibly competitive global industry
@9ZKHQHM1wk1W
Not really if someone has worked hard to be sucessful I don't think they should be treated more harshly
@9ZK5C3C1wk1W
These tax policies although seem like they target higher earners are seemingly only pushing away investment in Ireland and actually trickling down on middle and lower class.

Depending on the nature of the business as you don’t want big companies not coming here and providing jobs and improving the economy but the tax bracket needs to be amended. There is no reason whatsoever as to why people who earn €45000 are taxed at the higher bracket. The state the economy is at and how little the actual tax payer gets in return for paying their taxes is shocking. Unless you earn over a €7000 you should not be paying more then 25% tax
@9ZJQMRM1wk1W
Yes on banks and luxury sectors, but higher earning individuals should constitute those earning six figures or more… ie. Raise the higher tax bracket
