Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 January 2024
362. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Finance the reason the PRSI record for the self-employed for 2022 has not been passed on to the Department of Social Protection; the reason for this delay; if this has happened to other PRSI contributors; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1574/24]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the Department of Social Protection (DSP) requests a file of the Class S contributions from Revenue at the end of December each year, after the self-employed return filing deadline.
Revenue has confirmed to me that, while there was a technical issue which resulted in a slight delay in producing the file for the 2022 tax year by the end of December 2023, impacting self-employed contributors only, the issue has now been resolved and the first file of contributions for the 2022 year has been provided to DSP.
