Pension Relief

misspiggy40

Hi All. Looking for a pointer if anyone knows where I should look. I am doing an assignment on pension relief and my angle is whether or not the relief should be standard rated....any opinions welcome. What I am searching for are the figures which tell us how much relief is actually given in a tax year and any breakdown as to how much is at the top rate and how much is at the standard rate......in the country as a whole that is, not to a given individual.

Where would a body find information like that???

Thanks in advance.;)

I'd guess the Revenue Commissioners would be a good starting point but I don't have a specific contact address/ web site on their main site for that information. Equally, the Department of Finance probably has some information that they could share. The Irish Association of Pension Funds URL="http://www.iapf.ie"]www.iapf.ie[/URL might also be willing to help and probably has some reports which it has published on this issue.

contact Revenue's press office and ask for it under the freedom of information act. It'll take a while and they won't have info for the current year but previous years yes.
