Tax. Prsi. Usc. BOSS

Dani90

I have discovered this week that my boss hasn't been paying prsi or usc for the job that i have been working at full-time for 18 months.

I only realised this when I went to citizens advise because I thought something wasnt right when every time we ask for a pay slip or mention holiday pay we are ignored. I also heard she owed thousands to the revenue so needed to find out for myself. I was told there is no records of me ever working here or ever paying tax in Ireland for the last 18 months. Going by my hours and wage I have been paying tax every single week since i started.
I have no idea where to go from here, it's so hard to stay knowing what's been going on after trusting your boss with your money. Is there anything i can ask for to prove I have been working and paying taxes all this time?
Thanks In advance.

Warn your colleagues. Hunt for a new job elsewhere ASAP. Your call which order you do those things in.

Op, be careful what you wish for.

You are liable for income tax/state levies on your income, not your employer. Your employer is only liable for employers PRSI. Unless your tax/levies are being deducted each week from your wage, then you will be liable for paying those taxes/levies when you inform Revenue. In effect your employer may have been paying you a gross wage and you may now have to pay the tax/levies, not your employer. So think carefully how you want to play this.

Are you certain the deductions have been made from your gross pay?
