Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Social Welfare Entitlements for Self-Employed: ISME, SEA and SFA

2:10 pm

Mr. Ian Martin:

If we are seeking to ensure that everything is equal, then the entire tax and PRSI system must be examined because self-employed people pay a higher rate of PRSI, USC, etc. The whole system must be readjusted and if that is going to happen, then there is a small amount of money we are paying at present which could be put into a PRSI scheme but we must all be treated the same. We are not being treated the same at present. That is the point.
