Irish Tax Rebates has revealed the counties with the highest average tax rebates for 2023
Recent research by Athy-based Irish Tax Rebates has revealed the counties with the highest average tax rebates for 2023.
Kildare ranks seventh with an average rebate of €535.75 per person.
Dublin tops the list with an average rebate of €583.59 per person. This is followed by Cavan and Laois, with average rebates of €561.22 and €552.57, respectively.
Our neighbours in Carlow are among the lowest with an average of €479.15.
“The significant differences in average tax rebates across counties in Ireland are indicative of underlying economic disparities. Dublin's position at the top is not surprising, given its status as the economic hub of the country. High-income levels and diverse employment opportunities in Dublin contribute to higher tax returns and, consequently, higher rebates,” said Claire Murphy, Chartered Tax Advisor from Irish Tax Rebates.
“However, no matter which county you live in, there could be a chance that you are missing out on hundreds of euros, especially due to missing medical expenses, rent tax credits, working from home and other tax credits.
“As Budget 2025 is coming up on the 1st of October, people should be aware of the income tax reliefs and credits that will be available to them such as increased rate bands, another increase in the Rent Tax Credit and to be aware of the changes regarding the Gift/Inheritance threshold in favour of the taxpayer.”
