Occasional emails when published guidance changes tax bands, thresholds, or relief limits in Ireland.
Contributing to a pension is one of the most effective ways to reduce your income tax bill in Ireland. Because pension contributions qualify for tax relief at your marginal rate, higher-rate taxpayers can receive up to 40% relief on their deposits.
Revenue sets limits on the percentage of your income you can contribute to your pension tax-free, which increases with age:
It's important to note the absolute earnings cap for tax relief purposes is €115,000. If you earn €150,000 and are 35 years old, your 20% limit is calculated based on €115,000, not your full salary.
You can make a lump sum contribution to your pension before October 31st (or mid-November if filing via ROS) and backdate the tax relief to the previous tax year. This is a critical strategy for anyone looking to optimize their tax return.
