I always wondered why a few years ago,when they DOUBLED the PRSI contribution for self employed,there wasnt one voice raised anger,or in question as to why they did this.particularly when you consider we get fukk all in the event we get nothing if your business goes belly up
It was only the minimum contribution that doubled and it qualifies you for quite a range of benefits including:
Maternity Benefit
Adoptive Benefit
Paternity Benefit
Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's (Contributory) Pension
State Pension (Contributory)
Treatment Benefit Scheme
Invalidity Pension
Not bad for a tenner a week in any man's language.
