How income taxes work in Ireland
Employment income in Ireland can be affected by several separate deductions, including Income Tax, the Universal Social Charge and Pay Related Social Insurance.
Income Tax
Irish Income Tax uses progressive tax rates, while tax credits and rate bands can affect the final amount of tax payable.
Universal Social Charge (USC)
USC is a separate charge that can apply to income using its own thresholds and rates.
Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI)
PRSI contributions help fund Ireland's social insurance system and can depend on employment status and contribution class.
