These are the USC charges for 2016.
€0 to €12,012 1%, €10,037 to €16,016 4%, €12,012 to €17,576 3.5%, €12,012 to €18,668 3%,
€16,017 and above 7%, €17,576 to €70,044 7%, €18,668 to €70,044 5.5%
– €70,044 and above 8% €70,044 and above 8%
Income of €70,044 and above attracts 8% USC, suggest you check what were you paying through the year, your husbands situation is relevant if you are taxed jointly.
I just got my payslip today for the month of November and noticed that I paid over 2200 in USC!! I normally pay 216.09 every month (salary 60K). I contacted payroll. She said that they had been directed by Revenue to apply 8% to all of my salary for 2016! She said it could be a mistake and to talk to Revenue. The lines are closed right now, but to save me a sleepless night, could someone please explain how this can be possible?? I can't afford to be 2000 down on the mouth of Christmas. Why in the name of Scrooge would Revenue decide to collect 8% on all of my earnings for 2016- I'm below the 8% threshold. My husband pays his USC separately.
Thanks!
Thanks for getting back. A word of caution regarding timing though. There is a possabilty that payroll will wait till your December pay date to rectify the matter. This may be earlier than normal in the month though as my company tends to have December payroll out a few days before Christmas week.
