Free €2500 SSIA/Pension Incentive makes no sense

Yes but tax payable on what is drawn down from the pension (may be applicable depending on circumstance)?

Thanks

The individual in question would not have much in terms of cash or assets (other than private residence and weekly state pension), so I suspect it could almost all be availed of tax free.

Sadly, the individual in question is one of those who worked for years, was always honest but got "done over" by a dodgy person a number of years back and never really recovered financially.

Thanks for the help.

Sounds good, good luck with it!
