The self-employed have been liable to pay Class S PRSI on rental income since the introduction of social insurance for the self-employed in 1988. Employees who also have unearned income, including rental income, pay PRSI on that unearned income, at the Class K rate of 4% since 2014.
The Department of Social Protection does not receive data on the individual sources of self-employed or unearned income. It is, therefore, not possible to provide details of the amount of PRSI charged on rental income.
