    Hello all, trying to figure out the cost of the tax saver annual ticket from Skerries to Pearse on the train...going on the tax saver website I think it's roughly under 700 (1430 before tax discount)....is that correct or am I missing something?

    The actual tax saving depends on whether you are paying 20% or 41% tax. Your taxable income reduces by the cost of your ticket.

    So say your monthly taxable income is €2,000 and your annual ticket costs €120 per month, then your taxable income reduces to €1,880 ie you don't pay tax on the €120.

    Does that make sense?

    you still pay €1430 for the ticket but then make a saving on your tax each pay check over the year

    is your employer buying the ticket for you?

    Mine does and it is paid for via a "salary sacrifice" from my wages each pay check

    You also save on the USC and PRSI on the cost of the ticket in addition to the PAYE.
