4.3 Employed Persons The assessable income of an employed person is taken as the average weekly gross earnings less “employee” PRSI Contributions, Income Tax payable and the Income Levy. Please note – the Pension Levy is not deductible from gross income for assessment purposes. The documentation necessary to support the application and provide evidence of income is a current pay slip and a P60 if considered necessary. In arriving at an assessable income the HSE may average income over a number of weeks by using a combination of pay slip and P60. 4.4 Self Employed Assessable Income: The assessable income of a self-employed person is determined as the average weekly Gross Income less Trade Capital Allowances. From this figure PRSI Contributions, Income Tax payable and the Income Levy are deducted . Documentation: The documentation necessary to support the application and provide evidence of income is the Notice of Assessment and the Revenue Commissioners Form 11. Self-employed persons are obliged to have Revenue Form 11 completed and submitted to Revenue before the Inspector of Taxes will issue a Notice of Assessment. Form 11: Form 11 must be completed in respect of self-employed persons when making their statutory return of income to the Revenue Commissioners. It provides details of income which a self employed person may have including income from sources that are exempt for tax purposes and which will not be shown on the Notice of Assessment e.g. profits from woodlands, profits from stallion fees etc. (Refer to page 8 of Form 11). Such exempted incomes will need to be added back to the total figure in panel 1 of the Notice of Assessment. Page 4 of Form 11 will also provide a breakdown of the capital allowances claimed in Panel 2 of the Notice of Assessment.
