There’s a lot of good measures in the budget, but knowing the tax increase is in part related to giving tax breaks to fast food is infuriating

My wife and I are down about €100 a year due to PRSI increases.
Who knows how much more due to carbon tax increases.
No cost of living package, so higher bills this winter.
No change in childcare costs, which means we will be postponing having a second child.
No problem though, McDonalds can earn more profit selling literal poison to people.

PAYE bands not increasing with inflation are de facto tax increases on working people. The same with all various tax free allowances. There was numerous de facto tax increases in this budget that are often not mentioned.

So genuine question. People are constantly screaming on here for a left wing government. Then rage that taxes aren’t being lowered and instead more money is being invested in public services and those in need.
You know what left wing means right?

Good build on the Gavin election, Michaél.

Small restaurants and hotels have been burdened with 65c an hour higher minimum wage (I’m all for a living wage let me cook!) and the patrons of those businesses will have a higher tax burden.
This outcome seems to be tone deaf. The 4.5% cut is already gone. And running costs are up €1352 a year per person working 40 a week. 7 staff and your annual costs are up €10k a year.
Which means costs to eat out or holiday and travel in Ireland are going up, they have to. Whatever the upper price level they thought the public would be willing to pay is now gone. It’s not possible to absorb these new costs.
It’s going to be a difficult time for businesses over the next year if they have been running on razor thin margins or if they are already struggling, close up in January or try and make it to July for the cut.
As for normal people a tax burden sounds dramatic but none the less it’s less money in their pockets, along with costs going up there will be pressure on the private sector to increase wages. Which will increase costs further. Public sector thoughts and prayers.
So ultimately nobody wins and everybody will be worse off.

I wasn’t expecting to be better off, esp after that give away budget before the election, but as someone already said, the fact that the fast food industry gets subsidized with my taxes is really grinding my gears…..

Working couples? What about working single people otherwise known as the forgotten cash cows.

What’s the magic number I need to start foaming at the mouth at? Should i feel sorry for a couple without kids on €155k or a couple with kids but on €180k or is it couples on less than €70k.
I really need help to focus my sympathy on who deserves it. chatgpt has been no use here.
