For someone who does not have any legacy tax reliefs who has a high income, what can they do to reduce their tax bill.
Take a really high paye earner on €300k a year.
Maximum pension contribution: €46,000 (40% of €115,000)
€30k if he invests the €150k max in an Employment and Incentive Scheme
€32k if he pays €80k for his mother's nursing home fees
€21k if he invests the maximum €50k in a film.
€1k if he pays €7,000 in tuition fees
€4,100 if he pays €10,000 in permanent health insurance premiums
What else is there?
He can donate to charity, but the charity gets the benefit.

an anyone advise what the Film benefit is? And if there's a risk to the 50K investment, how does that work? I assume the idea is that you get the 50K back on the basis of a successful film?
So is the 21K basically a tax refund which is sizeable depending on the risk?
Has anyone lost the 50K, which is in reality 29K?
Thanks for the advice
