I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the PAYE Income Tax and Universal Social Charge (USC) paid in respect of employees in the construction sector, as well as the numbers of employments for such workers, for the period 2008 to 2013 (the latest year for which figures are available), is shown in the Table. It should be noted that an individual PAYE employee may have one or more employments in a year. The number of individual PAYE employees in the construction sector for the same period is also shown in the table.
Year | PAYE Income Tax & USC €m | Number of Employments | Number of Employees |
---|---|---|---|
2008 | 714 | 251,244 | 149,938 |
2009 | 468 | 170,739 | 98,240 |
2010 | 289 | 132,144 | 77,789 |
2011 | 349 | 117,012 | 64,513 |
2012 | 355 | 107,992 | 52,011 |
2013 | 367 | 110,675 | 64,999 |
It is not possible to furnish the breakdown between Income Tax and USC. A breakdown of PRSI for the construction sector is not readily available to Revenue for the periods in question.
