Section 20 of the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005 provides for the collection of PRSI contributions from every person over the age of 16 years and under pensionable age who has reckonable income or reckonable emoluments.
The person referred to by the Deputy received a payment from an assurance company after he retired from his previous employment. This payment was reckonable under Section 20 as the person had not yet reached the age of 66.
PRSI of €920.29 was paid at class S. I am satisfied that the correct amount of PRSI has been paid.
