The Government have changed the previously published BIK rates, and these changes apply retrospectively to the beginning of 2023.
The Original Market Value (OMV) should be reduced by €10,000 for all categories of vehicles apart from E. This includes vans and electric cars.
| Business Kms | Vehicle category (%) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower limit | Upper limit | A | B | C | D | E |
| - | 26,000 | 22.50 | 26.25 | 30.00 | 33.75 | 37.50 |
| 26001 | 39000 | 18.00 | 21.00 | 24.00 | 27.00 | 30.00 |

| 48001 | - | 9.00 | 10.50 | 12.00 | 13.50 | 15.00 |
If you have already processed payments using the old rates then you have two options to correct the values:
- Rewind and reprocess the old payments with the new rates, reimburse the employees the difference in Net pay and re-submit to Revenue. This may be the easiest option.
or
- For the employee's next payment, find the difference between the old rate BIK amount and the new rate BIK amount and enter this as a non-taxable element. The 'opposite' to benefit in kind is an non-taxable element. To do this:
The new rates for 2023 including the 8% van rate and electric car rates.

Emergency Tax
Like previous years, employees on emergency tax with a PPS Number will not receive any tax credits. They will also only get 4 weeks or one month of standard rate cut off point.
Employer PRSA contributions from 1 Jan 2023
For Payments prior to 1 Jan 2023, while the employer contribution may be considered a taxable BIK – a tax charge only arises where the combined contributions (employee + employer) exceeds the age-related limits, and any tax due is payable through self-assessment, not payroll.
From 1 Jan 2023, there is no charge to BIK on Employer contributions to PRSAs. Therefore, the charge to tax as BIK that would previously arise under section 112 by virtue of section 118 where the employer makes a contribution to a PRSA, no longer applies. PRSI is only charged through the PAYE system on emoluments that are taxed under PAYE. As the employer PRSA contributions would no longer be a taxable BIK, they are not taxed under PAYE and therefore not chargeable to PRSI under the PAYE system.
Note that none of the above has any impact on how PRSAs are operated in Cloudpay. This explanation is included in the release notes for reference only.
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
Statutory Sick pay has been introduced from 1 Jan 2023
Entitlement:
Taxation:
A new SSP (sick pay) button appears in the Payroll screen when a year 2023 or greater is selected. Clicking this will allow the user to record statutory sick pay.

The following screens showed an error message: File>Email Payslips, File>SEPA Bank File, File>Paypath Bank File, Utility>Accounts, Utility>Data Export, Utility> Payslip Design, Utility>EHECS
A new CSO EHECS (Earnings, Hours and Employment Costs Survey) form has been added. Form B is used typically for companies with less than 100 employees.

No leave date or where the leave date is after the first day of the year you are reporting (eg, for 2022, a leave date on or after 1 Jan 2022)

The 'greyed out' boxes obscuring processed payments now fade when the mouse is hovered over them.
The user can now more easily see the elements and deductions that were used to process the payment.

OIN, BIC and IBAN are never disabled. Ticking override box to enable has been removed.

An incorrect total was appearing for some voluntary deductions on the payslip. This only effected some deductions entered in the Payroll screen, and did not effect any calculations.
PRSI was not being calculated for S class Directors being paid exactly €2166.67. Any such payslips were rejected as invalid, drawing the user's attention to the problem.

Emergency Tax
Like 2019, employees on emergency tax with a PPS Number will not receive any tax credits. They will also only get 4 weeks or one month of standard rate cut off point.
It is now possible to set up the following payment frequencies:
Now the day of the month can be used (eg, pay on 13th of the month or the last or first day of the month etc.)
If a payment frequency is attempted to be altered after a payment has already been processed using the frequency, then a warning message appears.
Employees that have been paid, but had left still now appear in the employee grid in the Payroll screen, for dates that they have had a payment processed for. A new label like this left will appear next to their name so that you know they have left.
Elements with a Type of 'Health Insurance', now are Notional elements. CloudPay now works in the same way as the Desktop version for Health Insurance.
Employer No. now on email payslips
Multiple Users can now be set up per CloudPay account.
P30: Now rounded in exactly the same way as the Payroll Submission Request
Button at the top of the Payroll screen allows instant download of current processed payslip. If the employee has a Password set up, then the payslip will be password protected.
Gross to Net Range report
Totals only option for Gross to Net and Control summary range reports
Element and deduction details in the employee and payroll screen can now be toggled. Most of the time people do not need to see these extra columns so the option is now there to hide them. This also makes CloudPay more like the desktop version.
If an employee is selected in the employee or payroll screen or a company is selected in the company screen or a date in the payroll or submit payroll screen, the grid does not revert back to the top. The scroll position is retained.
Cosmetic: The shaded area sometimes fell short of the area it was meant to cover in the tabs in the Payroll screen.
