Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 April 2024
224. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 463 of 12 December 2023, the estimated revenue that will be raised in each of the years 2024 to 2030 by the proposed increases in all classes of PRSI, disaggregated by PRSI class, employer, employee and self-employed, in a scenario (details supplied), in tabular form. [18667/24]
View answerThe table below sets out the estimated PRSI yield that would be raised for each of the rate increases in the years concerned.
In calculating the estimated yield from the specified employer PRSI rates on the portion of earnings in excess of €100,000 for classes A,B,C,D,E and H a 'netting off' approach has been taken to ensure there is no double-counting. The net yield is the difference between the "in excess of €100,000 rate" and the "standard" employer PRSI rates specified by the Deputy for classes A,B,C,D,E and H in the table.
My Department does not have a first year cost estimate given that such an estimate would require a fuller analysis to be undertaken. Therefore, the estimated yield in 2024 is based on a full year basis.
These estimates do not take into account any possible behavioural changes in response to the higher PRSI rates being modeled.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
*revenue generated with respect to the rates of employer PRSI across classes A, B, C, D, E and H on the portion of individual incomes in excess of €100,000 net the revenue generated with respect to the standard rates of employer PRSI across classes A, B, C, D, E and H.
