Just got first payslip with new tax for 2013

DoesNotCompute

Only down 6 euro pw myself due to the loss of the PRSI exemption. Other increases are the result of increases in my annual train ticket, increase in pension deductions, and VHI going up, so not strictly speaking tax increases.

You'd have to pay all those things regardless though! You're also paying for the massive social welfare cost, don't forget that when people come up with stuff like this:

Again, per my subsequent comment, I'm referring to the quality of the services in return. They're there, but barely.

Again and again people first refer to the cost of ministerial expenses/pensions and social welfare, since that's the most prominent thing in our view - they overshadow the other services we pay for. Our public services are in a horrendously disorganised and inefficient state.

Roads are great, but we pay for them three times. Then we get told we have to pay a property tax for local services. Why? Because the money we've been paying for years has all been blown.

Yes it's a story that's been trotted out again and again, but it just enrages me! Because of those who foolishly spent - and are still spending - the money earned by this country, we have this very thread, telling each other how much our payslips have been reduced by.

Again.

For what?

My point was more that I don't get high-quality services in return for the taxes that I do pay.

If you want seriously high quality services, expect to pay far more tax.

Unless your already paying a massive whack on the higher bracket

€ 5.08 per week or €22.01 per month regardless of what you earn.

Yeah, this. There's no reason anyone's deductions should be one cent more or less than this as the PRSI change is across the board and PAYE and USC rates and credits havent changed at all. People should be checking their gross pay rates and non-statutory deductions to ensure no one is trying to pull a fast one on you. The anomoly of a Week 53 USC rate should balance up next week

Yeah they have just helped themselves to 13% of my weekly pay. Just for the record I come out with 355 a week.

What a ****ing joke to be honest, I don't mind paying some 5/6% not 13% . Sure next year it will be 15% then a few years 20%.

I shed a tear when I hear of story's like the TD's in Dail getting iPads, I mean is this what I am paying 13% of my yearly pay for.

Did you vote YES to the Fiscal Treaty?

That's what you are paying for. Bankbailouts, the survival of the Euro as a philosphical idea and the Croke Park Agreement.

That's why there was also a NO vote side.

Out of my pay raise I'm going to buy.......wait this is not 2003.......:(

FYI, my aggregated tax-rate in Canada is 23%.

midlandsmissus

Im down 10 euro.

Paid weekly.

What does the 53 week USC thing mean?

K-9

As far as I know there was no changes to any tax, PRSI or USC rates, only the abolishment of the PRSI allowance so people should only be down that €5.08 a week.

Week 53 is having 53 paydays in a calender year!

Not totally correct. As stated before self-employed people never got this tax credit, so no change for them. And yes you can be paye and self-employed.

Just was told by accounts that because of being on weekly pay we went in to week 53 so the USC charge was paid at the highest rate. Next week it will return to normal

Only in Ireland are there 53 weeks in a (tax) year

I am hopeful, valentines day is coming and I have a jewellery website, so I really do hope all of you men out there do something bold enough to have to grovel............lots of jewellery grovel lol

(very reasonably priced as I only need a wage this is due to paying very high taxes for years but daring to be a director so no benefits for me, they cant force me to make loads of taxable profit, such a shame!)

I didn't pay any PAYE in 2012 - only started working in Sept and never went over my tax free allowance so my pay will be down not matter what!

It was nice getting payslips and only getting USC and PRSI taken out of it. I felt rich

VEN

at least you all got payslips, you know some employers still aren't even doing that bit!
