I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the estimated Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) liabilities, as returned to Revenue by employers, for proprietary company directors from 2005 to 2013 (the most recent year for which data are available) are as shown in the table.

The amounts in the table relate to declared liabilities and do not take account of subsequent unpaid liabilities, liabilities assessed under an audit or liabilities subsequently amended by Department of Social Protection following a determination of insurable status of working directors.

I am further advised by the Commissioners that it is not possible, due to the manner in which the data are compiled, to estimate the effect of categorising working proprietary company directors as class A for PRSI purposes.
