Should a full-time college student who has a part-time (4 hours week) job be paying the Universal Social Charge?

It is being deducted from her wages already, and her nett monthly pay is only around €130.

Just wondering should she be paying the USC?
 
On that level of earnings- definitely not.

You are only liable when earnings are equivalent to an annual value of €4004 gross- this would be c.€334 gross per month.

Thanks for that, DeadlyDuck.

We felt that she shouldn't be paying it, but weren't sure what the limits were. She can have a word with the girl doing the wages for a refund.

Great calculator!
