Hi, I was recently retired from the Health Service on Ill Health Grounds. My Lump Sum was taxed before I got it. Is this right? I thought pension lump sums were tax free? I didn`t have full service so it was only about €65000 before tax.
The pension lump sum (at that level) should not be taxed. Are you sure any deduction was tax and not some arrears of contributions for say the Spouses and Children’s benefit?
I suggest you query the deduction with the HSE pensions office.
