Standard Personal Retirement Savings Account (PRSA)

Picture
PRSA are part of the governments move towards a more flexible pensions environment. Whether you are self employed, employed, unemployed or already receiving benefits under a PRSA you can make contributions to PRSAs. You can contribute to your PRSA by payroll deduction from your wages or by direct debit from your bank account. You can contribute as low as €300 per annum to your PRSA and you can draw on your PRSA at anytime between 60 and 75.

There are no limits to the benefits that can be gained from a PRSA. When you retire 25% of your total fund can be taken tax free with the balance being used to purchase a taxable pension for life or invested in an Approved Retirement Fund, which you can draw on during retirement.
