The Universal Social Charge (USC) was introduced in Finance Act 2011 and applies for the tax year 2011 and subsequent tax years.
The yield from the charge for the years specified is
2011 - €3,114m
2012 - €3,790m
2013 - €3,930m
USC is a tax payable on gross income, including notional pay, after any relief for certain trading losses and capital allowances, but before pension contributions. It is not charged on social welfare and similar type payments, or on income which was already subjected to DIRT.
