As per the Supplementary Budget announced 7 April 2009, the Pension Related Deduction rates have been changed with date effective 01 May 2009.

New rates are as follows:

It is payable on all income, pensionable and otherwise. (Overtime, allowances or any other like payment) It is additional to any other pension contribution that you are already paying.

It excludes Revenue-approved salary sacrifice: i.e. Travel pass salary deduction

The Deduction will not apply to a pension or pension lump sum.

Under the Income Tax Acts, deductions will be treated in the same way as a normal pension contribution. It will not affect the calculation of an individualís limit under Revenue rules for pension contributions (including AVCís).
