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
@9ZJQMRM1mo1MO
Yes on banks and luxury sectors, but higher earning individuals should constitute those earning six figures or more… ie. Raise the higher tax bracket
@9ZHJGXT1mo1MO
I support having income tax bands that tax high earners proportionate to their earnings however believe that exit tax on investment gains should be lowered and a threshold introduced.
@9ZVZZTT3wks3W
I do believe in progressive taxation but we need to strike a balance where highly earned individuals are not wanting to emigrate because of too high a tax policy. We need to maintain skilled workers in the country.
@9ZVSP9D3wks3W
Yes but again I think the concept of high earner needs to be looked at. 100k earnings may seem high however if you have little disposable income then I don’t think it is fair to raise the taxes too much as these people do not get many benefits from the state etc
@9ZVQ4M53wks3W
shouldn't be taxed because of their luck and fortune. no rich person in Ireland is made rich from their annual earnings
@9ZV32QR4wks4W
Leave higher earners and workers keep their income but banks broke this country and need to be taxed and controlled better to make mortgages etc more affordable / accessible
@9ZTH7794wks4W
Banks and Luxury sectors yes, but what do you classify as a high earner? No to higher earner being taxed more.
