Breaking PRSI?

barry181091

Hey guys,

I am starting a new job soon but finished my previous employment last month. Someone told me that I may have a problem with my prsi as I am 'breaking' the chain of contributions. Do I need to make any separate contributions or do I lose my previous contributions? It doesn't sound right to be, to be honest.

Thanks.

You won't lose your previous contributions . They should appear on your P45 .
To receive continuous contributions , it needs to be determined what you are doing during this period of unemployment between jobs .
Talk to SW about creditted contributions as they nothing to so with taxation.

And I suggest you should also register at www.mywelfare.ie and ask for a statement of contributions to date . This statement will let you see the full picture of how many contributions you have since starting work.
