Abstract:
This study addresses two key issues in Irish social and economic policy. These are:
(i) the need to reform and develop our taxation system so that it becomes fairer and;
(ii)the need to address the issue of the `working poor? where many individuals and their dependents, despite being active in the labour market, receive an income that is insufficient to take them above the low-income threshold as represented by the poverty line.
It does so by proposing the introduction of a defined system of refundable tax credits.
