Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 July 2026
520. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Social Protection the estimated full-year revenue that would be generated by increasing the 11.05% employers PRSI rate to 13.05% on salaries paid below €90,000 per year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51283/26]
View answerThe estimated full year revenue that would be generated by increasing both the lower PRSI employer rate of 9% and higher rate of 11.25% by 2% on salaries paid below €90,000 per year and retaining the current rate of 11.25% for those earning over €90,000 per year is approximately €1.7 billion.
This estimate does not take into account any possible changes in employer or employee behaviour arising from changing the rate of employer PRSI contribution.
