Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 May 2020
647. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Health the estimated cost to the Vote of his Department if the rate of employer PRSI was increased to 15.75% for the portion of salaries over €100,000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4704/20]
View answerThe rate of Employers PRSI for civil servants can vary based on the employee's start date. The estimated cost to the Department if the rate of PRSI (ER) was increased to 15.75% for the portion of salaries over €100,000 is €227,000. This has been established by applying a rate of 15.75% on all 2019 annual salaries over €100,000.
In relation to the cost relating to those employed in the HSE and S.38 agencies under their aegis, I have asked the HSE to respond to the Deputy directly.
The cost in relation to those employed in the non-commercial state agencies will need to be collected and collated and will be provided by separate letter as soon as it is available.
