Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2013
292. Deputy John Browne asked the Minister for Finance the exact amount of health contribution deducted from the incomes/salaries of State employees under the social security contributions and other contributions which are deduced at source; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6067/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraI assume the Deputy is referring to the Health Contribution which was introduced in the Health Contributions Act, 1979. The position is that the Universal Social Charge, introduced in Budget 2011 replaced the Health Contribution and Income Levy. Therefore, I am unable to provide the data sought by the Deputy.
