Prsi contributions whilst using Parental leave

hotmamma · 2012-06-10 20:46:22

Hi, My husband and I work for the same company and I used some of his parental leave to take some time off from work. Should my employer have paid my PRSI stamps for me for the duration of this leave period? Or if not am I entitled to claim tax credits for this period? thanks, Hotmamma

I think that you wont get any stamps payed for,and your tax credits will add up so to speak.The taxation forum might offer you more advice http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1208

Social insurance contributions

The Minister for Social Protection has introduced Regulations to ensure preservation of social insurance (PRSI) records for employees who take parental leave. Your employer must write to the Records Update Section of Department of Social Protection (DSP), detailing the weeks you have not worked, so that you can get credited PRSI contributions for this time (see 'Where to apply' below). You can find information about credited contributions and parental leave on the DSP website.
