The amount of tax you pay is not determined by the profession you are in under the PAYE system. It is based on your personal circumstances, what credits/reliefs etc. you are claiming. Everyones tax situation is unique to them so you may wish to do some reading on the Revenue website.

As a rough guide, a single person can earn up to €16500 in the year without paying PAYE, then 20% on everything up to €32800 and 41% on everything above that.
The USC rates are linked below.

Preety much the same as everyone else. 20% of your earnings minus your tax credits up until 31,000-32,000. 41% for anything after that.

The fact you have been on welfare for two years should not impact on your tax situation, as more than likely the payment you received (unless it was jobseekers benefit) is not a taxable source of income.

The 20 percent depends on how much you earn, and the credits depend on your personal circumstances.

Most people as far as I know are entitled to a PAYE (pay as you earn) tax credit each year of €1650, if you are single and of a certain age, you get an aditional personal tax credit of €1650, if you are married or co inhabiting, I think this is reduced. You can get additional credits for things such as your bin charges, your rent, and in your case, for purchase and landarying of uniform, other credits are also available.

Now, say for example, you earn 20,000 in a the year. 20% of that is 4,000, that is the maximum tax due.

However your tax credits will reduce the maximum amount due. For example, 4,000, minus PAYE credit of 1650, minus Personal Tax credit of 1650 (asuming your single) = 700. 700 will be the total tax due for the year.

Amount due may be even lower if you are elidgable for the additional credits, but maybe higher if married or co inhabiting as above.

Bear in mind though, you may also have the pay the USC (universal social charge) which varies percentage wise depending on earnings, and you may also have to pay PRSI contributions as well.

All of the above and purely intended as a guide, as said already, it will vary based on personal circumstances.

Welcome to the big bad world.



Yes, what ever you get is yours to keep*

Your wage slip will show the total earnings for week/fortnight/month depending on how often paid (gross pay), the deductions for that period, and then the amount paid to you after deductions (net pay). It may also show total gross pay and tax paid to date that year, amongst other information.

Your employer will look after all of that.

Keep a record of you pay slips, at the end of the year, or in jan/feb, your employer should give you a P60, this will show your total gross and net pay, tax credits, and tax paid for the previous year. If you believe you have paid to much tax, or USC, or are intitled to additional credits, present the P60 to your local tax office, you may get some of the tax/USC paid back.

*In some cases if you were on tax credits not intitled to you, may have to pay them additional tax during or at the end of the year.

Someone else might explain emergency tax better, but I think this is if its your first job, or if you dont produce the P45 from your last employer to your new employer (record of earnings and tax paid when finishing a job), and you have the full amount of tax deducted without tax credits being taken into account. This will be refunded in the form of a cheque or to your bank a/c from the tax office or in your next pay slip when mater is resolved and tax credits worked out.

Tax credits are good for everyone, otherwise we'd all be pretty broke, as pointed out, they reduce the amount of tax paid. Some are applied automatically, such as the PAYE one, and the single, or married persons credit, others you have to enqury about or ask for.

Yes, keep everything, shortly after commencing any work you should receive a tax credit cert, it will list the credits applied to you, and a break down of them, along with how much USC you will be due. If you dont receive, contact your local revenue/tax office.
