The Health Levy and National Training Levy are collected by the Revenue Commissioners as part of the PRSI collection system. The funds collected for these levies are then included in the transfer of gross PRSI from the Revenue Commissioners to the Department of Social and Family Affairs.

The National Training Levy contribution amounts to 0.7% of earnings of employees insured at Class A or H. Each year, the Department of Social and Family Affairs Accounts Branch undertakes an Annual Apportionment Exercise to analyse PRSI collection data and to apportion funds to the Social Insurance Fund, the Health Fund and the National Training Fund. My Department does not collect any information on the companies that contribute to the National Training Fund.
