Issues and trends
Irish businesses are currently in an environment of rising employment costs due to increases in income tax, social security and the new Universal Social Charge (“USC”) rates. This is coupled with unprecedented pressures in relation to employer compliance and responsibility in relation to employment taxes. Also, the revision of the Revenue audit code of practice and legislative basis for penalties has seen increased activity in employment taxes audits.
