General compliance

General compliance in a range of other areas can have employment tax implications and give rise to cost and risk. For instance, the employment law issues in relation to status of employment (employed v self-employed) will also impact directly in the areas of PAYE and PRSI. Compliance with Irish and international social security obligations is an area receiving increasing attention, as is compliance with legislation governing contractors in certain industries (i.e. construction, meat and forestry), with potentially high cost and reputational damage in the event of non-compliance.
