GP Locums subject to PAYE Tax

Posted on | November 20, 2009 | 1 Comment

Courtesty of the Irish Medical Times, here is some important information for GP’s who hire locums for out of hours cover and indeed for the locums themselves:

This will have a large impact on both the doctors and the locums.  Under PAYE the doctors will have to deduct PRSI, Health levy and income levy for the locums.  For the locums it will impact the expenses they can claim under self-employment, but on the other hand they will be able to utilise their PAYE tax credit if not being used elsewhere, which is  an additional €1,830 tax credit.

While the medical profession are appealing this it is very unlikely they will be successful. Pharmacist locums for instance worked on the same basis until a crackdown in that sector 6-12 months ago and they now operate on a PAYE basis.
