Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
391. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide the amount of income taxation raised on personal pensions over the last decade, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17276/23]
View answerI am informed by Revenue that it is not possible to provide a breakdown of income tax paid on personal pensions due to the nature in which income tax is calculated, which is based on a taxpayers’ total gross income from all sources. Furthermore, payroll data submitted to Revenue does not explicitly distinguish between income from an employment and income arising from an occupational pension and as such, there is no basis on which to provide information on the income tax collected from this income source.
