Revenue is now receiving pension information from the Department of Social Protection. Revenue is currently cross referencing the information to the Income Tax Returns of those with DSP Pensions with a view to identifying instances of taxpayers failing to declare and under-declaring their DSP Pension. State pensions are liable to income tax. Taxpayers should take care to ensure that an element of their cut-off band and tax credits have been allocated to the DSP Pension to avoid a tax liability.
