Irish Payroll (A History of PAYE)
Pay As You Earn (PAYE) is the name given to the income tax system for employees in Ireland and was introduced on 6 October, 1960.The evolution of PAYE over the past 50 years is also the history of Irish payroll systems from paper to computers.
Devised by Sir Paul Chambers, PAYE was introduced into the UK in 1944 following trials in 1940 and 1941. The financial strain that the Second World War placed upon the UK meant that it needed to collect more tax from more people.
PAYE in Ireland applies to earnings of all kinds arising from employment, including […]
Budget 2011 will not be brought forward
Taoiseach Brian Cowen stated last night that the budget will not be held earlier than planned. The €15bn euro deficit reduction plan will be unveiled this afternoon. It has been reported in the irish press that included in the four-year plan will be
an increase in the marginal rate of tax to 42 per cent or higher
tax credits being reduced and tax bands being widened
a cut to the minimum wage from €8.65 an hour to €7.65
introduction of a “local services” charge
cuts to the social welfare budget of €2.5bn over the four years

In a week 53 situation the payroll period must be run individually and cannot be part of a two week calculation for holiday shutdown as week 53 is run on week one calculation basis and not a cumulative basis. As a result, the employee will get the benefit of more than the year’s total tax credits and standard rate cut-off point
