Speaker: Brendan Casey – PRSI Consultant
This session on “10 Tips on Welfare & PRSI” will include clarity on questions that I’m constantly getting from Accountants, in particular:
- PRSI rules on rental income
- Employments that are exempted from a PRSI charge and when
- Why the client should become a Voluntary Contributor.
It’s important to review PRSI payments at this time of the year because if you don’t advise a PRSI refund request before 31st December the client will lose the refund for 2018 year! (Ends)
