It is Gross pay

Any payment such as PUP should be treated as Gross income, and is taxable however if for example someone was earning €500 pw before they went on pup and are now getting €300 they will obviously pay less income tax.
That would lessen the €200 difference, additionally you should write down all income for the year, actual earnings and pup and see what you're annual tax liability is , deduct any taxes paid, and the difference is your liability/ rebate whatever pops out.
