I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the person concerned is liable for PAYE tax on any income over €317 per week. There is no additional tax credit due to the individual concerned in respect of dependant children. PRSI is chargeable where the individual's weekly income exceeds €352. Any further queries regarding this aspect of the enquiry should be directed to Department of Social Protection. Employees of community employment schemes are not liable to pay the Universal Social Charge.
