The document summarizes the key aspects of the 2011 Irish budget as presented by Anthony Casey of Noone Casey Chartered Accountants. Some of the main points of the budget included lowering tax thresholds, reducing tax credits, introducing a new universal social contribution, abolishing some tax reliefs, and increasing excise duties. The budget was also expected to result in cuts to social welfare and pension restrictions. Noone Casey provided analysis of the impact on contractors' take home pay and offered personal financial reviews and a new financial management service called i-Finance to help mitigate the effects.
