Self-Invested Pensions for the Self-Employed in Ireland
/in Industry Updates, News, Pension Sense, Slider /by a2bmediaThere are a lot of risks to being self-employed. There are a lot of benefits to it, but one of the downsides is that you have to take care of your own pension. This can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be!
In this blog post, we will discuss self-invested pensions for the self-employed in Ireland. We will talk about what they are, how they work, and why they are a great option for those who are self-employed. We will also provide some tips on how to get started with a self-invested pension plan.
What Are Self-invested Pensions and Why Should the Self-employed Consider Them?
Pensioners who have amassed funds over time are considering the places where their pension funds are put and the costs that are associated with the investments.
Many are taking the decision to have more control over their retirement plan in the coming years. Over the past ten years, we have seen an increasing trend of self-employed corporate directors/senior executives, as well as retired people, to self-invested pensions.
The Benefits of a Self-invested Pension for the Self-employed
Self-invested pensions permit them to achieve this in a cost-effective way, however, self-invested pensions aren’t an option for all. This type of pension falls under the rules of revenue on pension investing and is not limited to the investment requirements of any particular service supplier and/or Insurance Company.
They are a great option for those who are self-employed because they offer a lot of flexibility and control. With a self-invested pension, you can choose how your money is invested. You can also choose how much you want to contribute to your pension each year.
What Are the Types of Self-invested Pensions?
Self-employed people are offered two primary choices regarding pensions:
Personal Pensions or Retirement Annuity Contracts (RACs) were traditionally the most preferred option for self-employed people who want to save for retirement due to the numerous advantages the product provides like the more diverse range of investment options, and possibly lower costs and also for self-employed persons have a more varied income (discuss in a future post).
This is a privately owned pension, which is held in your name. It is offered by a life insurance company to which you can contribute a % of your earnings and benefit from tax relief at your marginal rate. Depending on your age you can contribute between 15% and 40% of your earnings, to maximum earnings of €115,000.
This plan could generate a cash amount due to you upon retirement, in exchange for the contributions you make to the plan (these are either periodic or one-time contributions).
Personal Retirement Savings Accounts (PRSA) are similar to personal pension plans and were first introduced in 2002. They are basically a long-term savings contract with substantial tax reliefs available to everyone under age 75. It was designed principally to be a pre-retirement tool that allows individuals to plan their retirement savings flexibly.
A PRSA Pension is retirement savings account that you can access when you retire, at any point between 60 and 75. You are entitled to a 25% lump sum (with the first €200,000 tax-free and the next €300,000 taxed at the standard rate of tax, currently 20%).
When deciding which pension plan is right for you, it is important to seek professional financial advice from a Qualified Financial Advisor to ensure that you are making the best decision for your individual needs.

What is PRSA Pension Ireland
/in Industry Updates, News, Pension Sense /by a2bmediaWhat is PRSA Pension Ireland?
We often associate pension plans with retirement and people give utmost importance to that. This article provides information about PRSA Ireland, which is a personal retirement savings plan for qualifying employers and their employees.
What is PRSA Pension?
PRSAs are a type of personal retirement savings account that was introduced in Ireland in 2002. They offer individuals the opportunity to save for retirement in a tax-efficient way and can be used by both employed and self-employed people. The money in your PRSA can be used to provide an income in retirement, either through a lump sum or an annuity.
A PRSA offers retirement benefits dependent on the number of contributions, or payments, that you’ve paid into as well as the investment returns that you earned on these contributions.
You’re only able to open a PRSA Ireland if you’re an employee of a company that doesn’t have an occupational pension scheme in place. If your employer already has an occupational pension scheme, then you’re not allowed to have a PRSA as well.
There are two types of PRSAs – Standard and Personal. Standard PRSAs are set up by your employer, and contributions are taken from your salary before tax. Personal PRSAs can be established by anyone, including self-employed individuals, and contributions are made after income tax has been paid.
Both types of PRSA Pension in Ireland offer the same benefits, it’s just how the contributions are made that differs.
How Does PRSA Pension Work?
A PRSA pension is a personal retirement savings account that you can open with any licensed provider in Ireland. You can contribute to your PRSA pension through payroll deduction, or by making regular payments from your bank account. The money you save in your PRSA pension will grow tax-free, and when you retire, you can use it to provide an income for yourself.
You can choose how you want to invest your PRSA pension, and you can switch investment options at any time. Your provider will give you a range of investment options to choose from, and you can also choose to have your pension invested in a mix of different assets.
When you retire, you can take up to 25% of your PRSA Pension Ireland as a tax-free lump sum. The remainder of your pension will be used to provide you with an income for life. You can take your pension as a regular income, or you can choose to take it in lump sums.
If you have a PRSA pension, you can take your pension benefits with you if you move to another country. You can also use your PRSA Ireland pension to top up your State Pension or to provide an income for your dependents if you die before you retire.
PRSAs are a flexible and tax-efficient way to save for retirement, and they offer you the security of knowing that you will have an income in retirement. If you are self-employed, or if your employer does not offer a pension scheme, a PRSA is an ideal way to save for your retirement.
Who Can Contribute to a PRSA?
Anyone is able to contribute to the PRSA. Contributions are tax-deductible within a set amount but you must be employed in order in order to qualify for tax-free benefits. However, you can contribute to the PRSA regardless of your job situation.
PRSAs are offered to anyone regardless of your position or job status. You are able to take out PRSAs regardless of your employment status. You can have PRSA in the event that you are a casual or part-time employee, a high-paying individual, a self-employed or caregiver, a homemaker or job seeker, a contractor or employer, an employee, or even a partner in an association.
PRSAs are portable personal retirement savings accounts which means they can be moved from one job to another or from one provider to another. It can be opened by anyone who falls into the categories mentioned above. There is no maximum age limit for making contributions to a PRSA Pension Ireland but you must make your first contribution before you reach age 75.

A PRSA pension offers a number of benefits including:
What is the Difference Between a PRSA Pension and a Personal Pension?
A PRSA Pension is a personal retirement savings account that is set up and managed by the Irish government. A personal pension is any other type of private pension arrangement.
The primary distinction between PRSA and personal pension plans is that contributions from employers are able to be paid into PRSA’s but they are not able to be made in personal pension funds.
Another distinction is that PRSA’s are governed by statutory fees, whereas personal pension plans don’t. Based on the number of contributions, personal pension plans could provide the person with lower costs. PRSA Pension also offers certain tax advantages and protection from creditors, whereas a personal pension does not.
Which Pension Plan Gives the Highest Return?
A Self-Invested PRSA (SIPRSA) gives you more control over how your pension is invested. With a SIPRSA, you can choose from a wider range of investment options, including shares, bonds, and funds. You can also make changes to your investments as your circumstances change.
Newcourt Retirement Fund Managers’ current self-invested customers benefit from the many investment options and flexibility provided in the contracts.
