Contributions in respect of pay related social insurance, health, youth employment and income levies are collected through one composite deduction. The Department does not keep separate records of these amounts. The youth employment levy did not become a component of this deduction until 6 April 1982 and the income levy was not introduced until 6 April 1983.
