1The number of share fishermen/women who paid Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) at Class P during each of the years 2000/01 to 2009 is set out in the following table:
2000/1 | 13 |
2001 | 13 |
2002 | 12 |
2003 | 9 |
2004 | 10 |
2005 | 17 |
2006 | 16 |
2007 | 21 |
2008 | 24 |
2009 | 20 |
The total number of contributors who returned PRSI at Class S is set out in the following table for the years 2008 and 2009. In respect of 2010, it should be noted that the deadline for making self-assessed returns to Revenue in respect of that year is 31 October 2011 and, therefore, details are not yet available in respect of that year. The total PRSI returned under Class S is also included in the table.
Tax year | Class S contributors | Total contribution |
2008 | 375,306 | €405,582,000 |
2009 | 370,049 | €314,787,000 |
The Deputy should note that it is not possible to provide a breakdown of this figure to show the value of Class S contributions returned by fishermen/share fishermen.
