SINN FÉIN WOULD reverse cuts to the Pandemic Unemployment Payment and double investment in housing, according to the party’s alternative Budget 2021.
Sinn Féin’s alternative budget would provide an additional €5.3 billion in current expenditure and €2.5 billion in capital expenditure. Sinn Féin would impose a “solidarity tax” of 3% on incomes above €140,000 in 2021, which would rise to 5% the following year. Tax credits would also be tapered off for incomes above €100,000, with no tax credits for people earning over €140,000.Speaking at the launch today, Doherty said the unknown impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was a “big factor” considered by Sinn Féin when devising the document.
