Frequently asked questions about taxes

Investments in certain funds and Etfs may fall under the Irish Exit Tax regime, where tax may be payable at specific events such as a withdrawal or other chargeable events defined under Irish tax legislation.

The applicable tax rate and rules are determined by Irish law and may change in the future.
Finax provides account information and documentation through its platform to support clients with record-keeping and tax reporting where required. Clients remain responsible for meeting their own tax obligations. The information above is intended for Irish tax residents. Tax treatment may differ for individuals who are tax resident in another country. The tax treatment of investments depends on the applicable legislation and the individual’s personal circumstances and may change in the future.

Finax does not provide tax advice. Clients should consider seeking independent professional advice where appropriate.
You can claim income tax relief on your PEPP contributions at your highest marginal rate(either 20% or 40%). This effectively reduces the "net cost" of your investment:

Higher Rate Taxpayer (40%): A €1,000 investment only costs you €600 out-of-pocket.

Standard Rate Taxpayer (20%): A €1,000 investment costs you €800 out-of-pocket

The amount you can contribute tax-efficiently is capped by your age and an annual earnings limit of €115,000
o Age Group

Max Relief Limit (% of Income) by age group:
o Under 30 - 15%
o 30 – 39 - 20%
o 40 – 49 - 25%
o 50 – 54 - 30%
o 55 – 59 - 35%
o 60 or over - 40%

Unlike regular investments, which are subject to a 38% Exit Tax (as of Jan 1, 2026) and a mandatory "deemed disposal" tax every 8 years, a PEPP grows entirely tax-free.

At retirement you can withdraw 25% of your total fund value as a tax-free lump sum, up to a lifetime limit of €200,000.

How much do I save on taxes compared to mutual funds?

While direct shares are taxed at 33% (CGT), they often trigger immediate tax on every dividend payment. By contrast, our ETF portfolios allow your entire gain to stay invested and compound.
