Key Post Refund of Health Levy if you earned over €8,341 some months.

If you earn more than €8,341 in any month, you paid a Health Contribution of 2.5% (instead of the usual 2%) on the excess over €8,341.. However, if your earnings for the full year were less than €100,100, you can claim a refund.

The refunds are very small and probably not worth claiming.


Example

Normal salary €7,000 per month

December salary: €10,000

Total salary for the year €73,000

Excess Health Levy charged .5% of €1,659 (€10,000 – €8,341)

€8.29

However, if you do want to claim them:, send the following letter and your P60 to the Refunds Section.
There is a form called PRSI REF 1, but you do not need to fill it out.
