Do I have to pay PRSI on deposit interest ?

I am employed and my only other source of income is deposit interest on which I pay DIRT. Will I also be liable for PRSI?

It depends on the amount of deposit interest that you have:

• You will be liable if your deposit interest exceeds €5,000 as Revenue would consider you to be a chargeable person. You must pay and file under the Revenue’s self-assessing system.
• If your deposit income is less than €5,000 Revenue will deal with your tax liability through the PAYE system and therefore you would not be liable for the PRSI charge.
