Telling ROS the PRSI I've already paid

    Hey,

    I'm filing my accounts for 2008 at the moment and there's a new element which has thrown me a little.

    I've been working at a job in addition to my self-employed work since Sept. and was paying PAYE and PRSI through that.

    I've told ROS what I earned and was charged via PAYE as part of this work and it's calculated that I overpaid a certain amount (which I was expecting) but I can't seem to tell it the PRSI I earned and it's asking me to pay more.

    Maybe I have to but want to make sure I'm not missing something.

    I paid €354 in PRSI via the PAYE job (was emergency taxed for most of the end of 2008) and ROS is asking for a further €169 in PRSI.

    So if I can tell it the amount I've paid where do I put it in the ROS form?

    Thanks.

    I don't think you can. You would have to have overpaid in your PRSI too, which I don't think does/can happen.

    You still have to pay PRSI at the standard rate on your non-PAYE earnings.

    Ah right - so I get charged PRSI on both sets of earnings rather than a single amount based on total earnings?

    Wasn't sure if I've been over charged (or can be) for the PAYE job either - thought it was possible as emergency tax assumes you're earning enough to get taxed at the highest rate and thought PRSI might have an equivalent.

    If not, I don't mind. Once I'm not paying twice over when I don't need to.

    I think ROS calculates the PRSI on self employed income and not paye income.

    Yeah, just wanted to see if it takes PRSI already paid elsewhere into account when calculating what's left.

    You dont enter the PRSI paid on your paye employment into ROS when completing your Return. ROS only calculates self employed PRSI at the rate of 5%.

    PRSI incurred thru your paye employment is Returned to Revenue by your employer.

    PRSI incurred thru your self employment should be Returned to Revenue by you.

    Great, thanks for the answers.

    Wasn't sure if there was a way to over-pay PRSI as I couldn't find any kind of chart to show what I should have been paying through the PAYE job.

    Thanks again,

    edit: Just looking there and I think I may have been paying all the PRSI contribution out of my own wage (assuming I read the thing right and some of it is supposed to be paid by the employer, some by the employee. If that's the case I can get that back after I file my taxes).
