flag Ireland keeps current tax rates to boost jobs and investment, with a €9.4B budget package.

flag Ireland will maintain current personal tax rates in its upcoming Budget, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe confirmed, prioritizing job creation and investment over tax changes. flag A €9.4 billion package for Budget 2026 includes €7.9 billion in new public spending and a €1.5 billion tax measure aimed at boosting competitiveness. flag Donohoe warned that expanding the tax package could narrow the tax base and threaten fiscal stability, citing past indexation costs of €1.2 to €1.3 billion. flag No decision on Christmas welfare bonuses will be made before Tuesday, with social protection focused on targeted support rather than broad increases.
