Some may be unaware that tax relief is available to some workers in specific roles and industries, e.g. shop assistants, nurses, etc. The list can be found here: One that stood out to me was the flat rate tax relief available to waiters vs. waitresses in the hotel industry:
Until last year waiters got more tax relief than waitresses.
Until this year women doing the same job as men were explicitly offered less tax relief by Revenue. The amount was revised in 2016, but remained unequal on gender grounds until 2017. So in 2016 someone reviewed it and chose to make it…slightly less discriminatory. In 2016. Sigh.
Fight!
