Hi all
this is a genuine question and not a call to arms to flame the public sector.
I saw these two articles (one from the IT, one from the Indo):
IT: [broken link removed]
Indo: http://www.independent.ie/national-...pc-tax-on-pensions-of-euro100000-2949194.html
One (IT) says that those public/civil servants on a pension of over €100k per year will have an increased levy of 20%.
The other (Indo) says that a new top rate of tax of 20% (currently 10.5%) will be imposed on pension payments.
The two are very different in my eyes. My question is whether pension payments for civil/public servants are taxed (regardless of how the pension is paid for initially) at a different rate than those paid to other people?
So, ignoring other factors such as DC/DB pensions, when someone gets a theoretical €100k pension, are they taxed differently on the monthly payments made to them depending on whether they are public/civil servants or not?
Thanks
