Commitment

Abolish the USC for workers earning under €100,000

What this means

  • People Before Profit promised to abolish the Universal Social Charge for workers earning less than 100,000 euro per year.[source]
  • The party said this tax cut would be paid for by a new tax on multi-millionaires, not through cuts to public services.[source]
  • This commitment was made in their general election manifesto published on 14 November 2024 and remains a promise, not yet delivered.[source]
  • The USC affects most workers in Ireland, so removing it for those under the 100,000 euro threshold would directly benefit the majority of earners.[source]
  • Voters and watchdogs can use this commitment to hold People Before Profit to account if they enter government or influence future budgets.[source]
