We should highlight to FG and Labour when they come around at the local elections about the huge increases in DIRT blocking people trying to save any chance of earning any interest

“tax on savings”

By their massive on savings, the Government has made sure Hyatt it is not worthwhile putting any money on deposit. Inflation would mean that you lose out by saving.
This is not a very enlightened policy.

I’m saving for a jetski and a breakfast roll. Maybe a fill of petrol as well

Taxed on income. DIRT tax on my savings. Current deposit accounts earn about 1% after tax. What’s the point in tying money up for that little?

The ssia paid off my mortgage and it was great, but the decrease of the post office deposit rates as lobbied by our, yeah really our beloved banks have reduced the incentive to save, deffo use tax allowance on AVC’s tho.

What I find amusing is the medja talking heads and most politicians seem to hate people saving. Then the gov taxes the life out of it, the ECB and banks rip off savers with phantom interest rates and that french commie Lagrade wont be happy until everyone’s savings are confiscated.

The economic climate reflects the weather it rains everyday for people in this country

Ogochukwu is really laughing and having lols at the Journals comedy ..lo Yes Ogochukwu tries to put away something every two years ..lol maybe €50 lol

But today is a rainy day??

If the rain keeps up & we are saving for a rainy day. We would all be rich people.
