Lenihan’s budget is still being digested. As I understand it the Health Levy increase from 2% to 4% and the doubling of the income levy from 1% to 2% is an effective tax increase for lower/lower-middle income earners of 3-4%. We have to see the thresholds etc. Anyway weigh in here or over on the live blog. Below with thanks to Neville Gawley is the emergency budget wordle (click to enlarge in new window).
