Where the employer pays the full premium for employees and the employee does not make good any amount to the employer, PAYE and PRSI must be applied to the gross (pre Tax Relief at Source) premium. To ensure that the employee is granted the relief afforded by TRS, the employee will be given a tax credit (at the standard rate) for the gross premium in his or her certificate of tax credits.
The employer pays the full medical insurance premiumOn the Invoice from the medical insurance provider, there should be a grossed billed amount and a TRS (Tax Relief at Source) amount. The TRS amount should be 20% of the gross amount. For example;
Monthly
Billed this period €80
TRS Billed this period €20
Gross Billed this period €100
