What Ireland payroll actually has to do
The tax authority is Revenue. Currency is EUR. PAYE Modernisation — PAYE, PRSI and USC computed, with your Revenue (ROS) submission figures prepared for every pay date.
- Income tax (PAYE)
- Standard rate 20% up to the cut-off, 40% above. Tax credits applied per employee — not a UK-style personal allowance.
- USC (Universal Social Charge)
- Applied across all bands — 0.5%, 2%, 3% and 8% — with the correct cut-offs for the current Budget.
- PRSI (Pay Related Social Insurance)
- Class A — employee and employer contributions at the rates in force, including the mid-year step-up applied to the right period.
- My Future Fund auto-enrolment
- The new Irish auto-enrolment scheme, live from 1 January 2026: 1.5% employee + 1.5% employer for eligible workers aged 23–60 in the €20k–€80k band.
- Real-time submission
- Payroll is calculated and reported to Revenue Online Service (ROS) on every pay date — PAYE Modernisation, end to end.
