i have just realise i have been paying a1 rather than a2 since july of last year when i got a medical card my question is am i entitled to a refund and if so how do i claim it
As there is no difference in the amount of PRSI payable at A1 and A2 it is unlikely there would be any refund. There could however be a refund of Health contribution 2% for those on medical cards
I got a PRSI refund in respect of some "standalone" PRSA contributions a while back and it wasn't much hassle. It too a while but I suspect that this was because it was at the very beginning of the scheme whereby off payroll/standalone PRSA contributions benefited from tax AND PRSI relief so I think they were only getting to grips with the process themselves.
