Depending on your personal circumstances, individual USC rates may apply. These are provided by Revenue and are shown on your tax certificate.
In the absence of a valid tax certificate, USC will be charged at the higher rate (currently 8%). Therefore, it is important to discuss this matter with your local Revenue office.
