Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) for the self-employed was introduced in 1988. All self-employed people aged between 16 years and 66 with earnings more than a specified amount (currently €5,000 per annum) must pay PRSI. The class of PRSI contribution paid by self-employed people is Class S. The Back to Work Enterprise Allowance (BTWEA) scheme encourages people getting certain social welfare payments to become self-employed. If you take part in the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance scheme (pdf) you can keep a percentage of your social welfare payment for up to 2 years. The Short-Term Enterprise Allowance (STEA) gives support to people who have lost their job and want to start their own business. To qualify you must be getting Jobseeker's Benefit. There is no qualifying period, which means you do not need to have been getting Jobseeker's Benefit for a certain period of time. However, you will not qualify if you are getting Jobseeker's Benefit and working part-time.

Tugadh Árachas Sóisialta Pá-Choibhneasa (ÁSPC) do dhaoine féinfhostaithe isteach i 1988. Ní mór do gach duine féinfhostaithe idir aois 16 agus 66 bliain a bhfuil tuillimh acu os cionn suim shonraithe (€5,000 sa bhliain faoi láthair) ÁSPC a íoc. Is í aicme na ranníocaíochta ÁSPC a íocann daoine féinfhostaithe Aicme S. Spreagann scéim an Liúntais Fiontraíochta um Fhilleadh ar an Obair (LFFAO) daoine a bhfuil íocaíochtaí áirithe leasa shóisialaigh á bhfáil acu chun tabhairt faoin bhféinfhostaíocht. Má ghlacann tú páirt i scéim an Liúntais Fiontraíochta um Fhilleadh ar an Obair (pdf), féadfaidh tú céatadán de d’íocaíocht leasa shóisialaigh a choimeád ar feadh a fhad le 2 bhliain. Tugann an Liúntas Fiontraíochta Gearrthéarmach (LFG) tacaíocht do dhaoine a chaill a bpost agus ar mian leo a ngnólacht féin a thosú. Chun cáiliú, ní mór go bhfuil Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist á fháil agat. Níl aon tréimhse cháilithe ann, agus ciallaíonn sin nach gá go bhfuil Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist á fháil agat ar feadh tréimhse ama. Ní cháileoidh tú, áfach, má tá Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist á fháil agat agus má tá tú ag oibriú go páirtaimseartha.
