If your employer is paying full salary then do you not get both 100% salary plus MB (exempt from tax)?Ive been advised by my employer that they will pay me my full salary whilst on maternity leave (Yipee!!!)
Am i right in saying thats it more tax beneficial for me to retain the maternity state benefit of €280 myself and just have my employer pay me the difference?
Many are. Some (such as MB, Child Benefit, Early Childcare Supplement etc.) are tax free.Aren't state benefits taken into consideration for tax purposes? I thought they were only "tax-free" when within the thresholds.
In the second case you are not getting any of your salary tax free.
But 1st time around he made sure his tax liability was reduced but mine continued as normal
Don't forget that if your employer is topping up your maternity pay they are quite entitled to only top up the net amount to you - e.g. if your net pay is €465 a week and you decide to keep the MB of €280, your employer could make a net payment to you of just €185 a week.
Are they entitled to top up only to the net amount? Under what legislation?
As employers are not obliged to provide any remuneration at all during maternity leave, any top up provided is subject to the employment contract and/or the employer's discretion.
