On what basis would you be entitled to a PRSI refund? Income from the sole trade is subject to PRSE/ Health Levies just like a salary.

I think what OP is referring to is sole trader PRSI rate is 3% while employee rate is 4% up to 50K approx plus 2% health levy on all income.

Not sure how the calc work out

#3 is on the money. If you paid employee prsi at the higher rate, what are you liable to pay for on your self-employed income?
