Hi all,does any one know roughly how long emergency tax lasts? I've been on a part time government scheme (TUS)for the last six weeks and have been paying emergency tax,it started off E12 a week shortfall but has risen for the last two weeks to over E40.

cheers.

You can see the emergency tax rates here:

Get yourself set up for myAccount on www.revenue.ie, add your job through jobs and pensions, and that will get you off emergency tax.

Basically means as the weeks go on you pay more tax, usc + PRSI.

Weeks 1-4 you get a cut off point and
credits.
Weeks 4-8 you get a cut off point, but no credits.
Then from week 9 onwards you get no cut off point, no credits, and pay 8% USC.

relax carry on

Emergency tax exists so the employee will sort out their situation with Revenue. You'll need to register your employment as already outlined to resolve the issue.

As the previous poster says emergency tax lasts until you sort it out and it gets progressively worse until 8 weeks when you pay around 51% tax.

I've seen people stay on emergency tax for over a year because they won't sort out their tax position.

Its all on you.
