Employers contribution question

[gribr]

I've been thinking i need to up my pension contribution and its coming up to annual review time is coming up in my company. I was wondering if i would be better off asking for my employer to put part of any wage increase directly into my pension as part of their contribution or just put it in myself from the increase i get? Whats the difference on tax implications for myself and employer?
Thanks.

The employer saves his element of the PRSI 10.5%. If you intent putting in the increase due under the review put in the amount gross (before tax & PRSI is deducted).

You could suggest (that as the company is saving money by you investing in a pension) that part of the saving that the company is making could be directed to your pension perhaps by giving you a bigger increase

I've heard of a few people who suggested this and got a bigger increase than they would otherwise have expected.
