Take advantage of new pension benefits introduced by recent legislation.
You can now grow your pension assets and reduce your company’s taxable profits.
The Finance Act 2022, effective since January 2023, offers significant benefits for pension savers. Employer contributions to a PRSA are no longer treated as a Benefit in Kind. This means your company can contribute to your PRSA without limitations, except for the overall standard fund threshold of €2 million.
If you’re an owner-manager of a cash-rich business, now is the perfect time to build up your pension pot. Contributions can be claimed as tax relief in the accounting period they are paid, enhancing your company’s tax efficiency.
For example:
PRSA Contribution | Corporation Tax Saving |
€100,000.00 | €12,500.00 |
€250,000.00 | €31,250.00 |
€500,000.00 | €62,500.00 |
€1,000,000.00 | €125,000.00 |
€2,000,000.00 | €250,000.00 |
