Review your pension BEFORE the tax deadline!

Calling all Employees and Self Employed Individuals

If you are an employee or are self-employed, then you have a once off opportunity to maximise your tax savings and increase your pension contributions. But you must act now!

The Opportunity

You may be able to make a once off, lump sum payment into your pension before the tax deadline of October 31st and offset it against last year’s tax bill. This will allow you to increase your retirement savings and save tax!

Save Tax and Increase Your Pension Contributions in 3 Easy Steps

1.       Check out the Revenue limits table below or contact your local tax office, to ensure you are entitled to claim tax relief on the extra amount you now wish to save for the 2015 tax year.

2.       Pay the amount you wish to save by October 31st, and you will then be issued with proof of

payment.  Payments must be received by the October 31st, so don’t delay!

3.       Contact your local Revenue office with proof of payment by October 31st, stating that this contribution has been paid against your 2015 income.

Save Tax
If you paid tax at 40% in 2015, then a €1000 investment into your pension now could only cost €600, as you could claim a refund of €400* from Revenue.	Tax Bands	40% Tax	20% Tax
	Gross Payment	€1,000	€1,000
