It is understood that the Deputy's proposal is to eliminate the lower employer rate under PRSI class A, currently at 9%, and apply the higher rate of 11.25% on all income.
It is estimated that the revenue raised by applying this proposed measure would be some €247 million per year.
The estimate does not take into account any possible changes in employer behaviour arising from changing the rates of employer social insurance contribution.
