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.
