Individuals with total income less than €13,000 in 2020

USC is a levy on gross income that has a threshold. In 2020, the threshold for a single person is €13,000. If your total income for the year is below that amount, there’s no USC due. That’s why individuals with total income under €13,000 are exempt from USC—the first €13,000 of income isn’t charged at any rate. Once income rises above the threshold, USC applies to the portion above it according to the standard bands.
