View answerThe estimated additional revenue that would be generated if the higher rate of PRSI of 10.75% was increased to 12.75% for persons earning over €110,000 is €119m.
This estimate is based on the latest available data and reflects macro-economic indicators for 2018 only. It should be noted that the estimates do not take possible changes in behaviour arising from increasing the rates of contribution into account.
