Can an employer claim anything back on employee pension contributions, if so how much for every euro would it cost

 

[ClubMan]

They can avoid employer PRSI (10.75% in most or all cases I think) on any employee contributions made by them or the employee as far as I know. Don't know of anything else offhand.

Employer contributions are also a deduction against corporation tax profits - in the same way that wages are.

The saving in employer's PRSI only applies where contributions are paid through payroll.

If a member makes a lump sum AVC out of after tax income, he or she can claim a refund of income tax and PRSI, but the employer cannot claim a refund of employer's PRSI.

Yes - I should have made that clear earlier!
