Its easier than you think and there is Tax Relief
The government offer generous tax relief on pension contributions – we can discuss these with you (Note: The rate of tax relief on your pension contributions is at the highest rate of income tax you pay, also known as the marginal rate. There are various rules that pension schemes must meet in order to get the tax relief and there is a limit to the amount of the relief.)
Personal Pensions
We want to help you choose the right pension for your lifestyle and requirements
There are a number of options open to you depending on your specific circumstances and requirements:-
- Personal Pension Plan
- PRSA Pension
- Retirement Bond
- Executive Pension Plans
Personal Pension Plan
A Personal Pension is a personally owned pension, held in your name. Unlike a company pension plan, where your employer may make contributions to your pension, only you can make contributions to a personal pension.
It is suitable for anyone saving for their retirement and is mainly suited to those who are self-employed, or whose employer does not offer a pension scheme.
On retirement you can take a tax-free lump sum of 25% of your fund, up to a maximum of €200,000. The remainder of your fund can then be invested in an Annuity or Approved Retirement Fund.
Retirement Bond
A retirement bond lets you take your pension entitlements with you when changing jobs, without having to transfer to your new employer’s scheme.
Executive Pension
This plan is designed for employees and employers in small to medium-sized companies, who wish to save for their retirement. The maximum that can be paid into an executive pension plan, between the employee and employer, depends on the employee’s earnings, service and any benefits from a previous employment. The maximum amount the employee can pay in depends on their age.
On retirement, you can take a tax-free lump sum of either:
- 25% of your fund, or,
- based on salary and service, to a maximum of 150% of salary.
The maximum tax-free lump sum you can take is €200,000.
The remainder of your fund can then be invested in an Annuity or Approved Retirement Fund.

Benefits for Employers
As an employer, providing a Company Pension Plan to your employees will help attract new staff and retain existing employees. Also having Death In Service and Income Protection benefits for employees can be an integral part of an attractive employee benefits package
Benefits for Employees
For employees a company provided pension gives assurance that a retirement plan is in place for when they finish work. Matching employer contributions and tax relief at source are the practical benefits of a company pension plan.
Death in Service and Income Protection can also provide employees peace of mind in the event of death or being unable to work due to ill health.
