Salary and tax issue

    Hi,

    Not sure if this should be here or in the Taxation forum... Mods, feel free to move.

    Basically, I had a small salary increase effective this month, nothing huge, boils down to about an extra tenner a month after tax, most welcome, of course.

    However, the increase has pushed me into a higher PRSI class, I'm A1 now instead of AL. As a result, I'm paying twice as much PRSI as usual, and my take home pay is now down about 50 euro a month.

    I'm thinking of going to HR and asking if I can reject the increase, or take it as annual leave instead. The way I see it, they're out of pocket too with the employer contribution as well.

    It's a big enough company I work for. Does it sound like something they would be open to? I'm not sure if I should even ask...

    Thanks :)

    See if you can increase any of your deductions before tax like your pension if you have 1 that way the increase would be gone before you are taxed on it.

    Thanks for your reply wmpdd3.

    I had a chat with our Pay Roll officer and have decided to join the pension scheme, as it seems to be the only way around this.

    My net pay will still be down each month, but at least the money's going somewhere and doing something for me.

    It's so annoying....was only somethin like 0.83 cent that pushed me over the limit... Was the push I needed to get me into a pension scheme, though... Been threatening to do it with a couple of years, so every cloud and all that nonsense :D
