Your tax credits and standard rate cut off point are on your tax credit certificate in myAccount (PAYE Services). Single is the default: a €44,000 band and €4,000 of credits. A one parent family gets a €48,000 band and the €1,900 single person child carer credit. Married or civil partners with one income get €53,000 and €6,000 of credits. With two incomes the higher earner gets that, and the lower earner gets a band equal to their own pay up to €35,000 and the employee credit only. Use extra credits for anything else on your certificate, such as the rent or home carer credit. Emergency tax gives no credits and takes 8.0% USC. The figures show what would come off pay if it ran all year, but employers refund the overpayment once they get a cumulative RPN. USC and PRSI are not affected by credits. How your tax credits certificate works.

Pension contributions get income tax relief at your highest rate (age limits and a €115,000 earnings cap apply). They get no relief from USC or PRSI, which are still charged on your full pay.
