I propose to take Questions Nos. 530 to 533, inclusive, together.
PRSI receipts do not form part of Exchequer funding but are paid into the Social Insurance Fund. The most recent estimates for PRSI yields are set out in the following table.
Changes to PRSI Rates & Thresholds | Yield |
1% increase in Employers higher PRSI rate | â'¬423m |
1% increase in Employers lower PRSI rate | â'¬59m |
1% increase in the Self-Employed PRSI rate | â'¬108m |
1% increase in Employees PRSI rate | â'¬373m |
Abolition of the PRSI ceiling | â'¬119.5m |
