Joint assessment - spouse's PRSI

Hello,

I am making a joint assessment tax return. I am self-employed and my spouse is a PAYE worker.

When filling out the section for my wife, there are spaces to enter her gross income, PAYE tax deducted and USC - but not PRSI.

Can anyone please tell me if I am missing something? I am concerned that this is increasing the final tax figure I have to pay.

Any help gratefully received.

You're not missing anything, the Form 11 assumes the employer has operated the correct amount of PRSI on any employment income. If you look at the calculation part of the form, you'll see it doesn't calculate PRSI on that amount of income either.

Thanks Jon, I see that now. I think they could make it a bit clearer on the form.

I agree Maybrick. It's not clear on the form at all.
