Spotted this in the IT today. https://www.irishtimes.com/business...benefit-of-auto-enrolment-state-contribution/
Perhaps those more learned than I can explain how the existing relief is better for standard rate payers than AE.
Comparing apples with apples in terms of the invested amount, AE is superior for those paying the standard tax rate, what am I missing?
Edit: Top up is 75c, rather than 60c, under standard tax relief, for the reason TI_30XA mentions below

AE | Std Tax Relief (20%) | |
Investment | €3.00 | €3.00 |
Top Up | €1.00 | €0.75 |
Total Investment | €4.00 | €3.75 |
Top Up % | 25% | 20% |
