Hi

If I have 2 employees, when I am preparing my P&L account, should the wages expense figure include the employer PRSI contribution for these 2 employees. I assume it does not include employee PRSI, income tax, levies etc

Thanks!
 
The wages should include your actual costs - this will be their gross pay (not their net pay) and employer's PRSI.

(The tax, employee PRSI and levies are deducted from the employee from the gross pay, so ignored).
