    Are there many options to reduce your PAYE liability?

    I already max out pension contributions but just querying is there anything else I can do?

    get old, over 65 anyway
    over 70 to get a usc tax break


    pay doctors lots, get a fifth back from the taxman

    get a new bike on the bike to work scheme bought for you by your employer
    get a public transport ticket bought for you by your employer.

    Also, Permanent Health Insurance (aka Income Protection) premiums are treated much the same as pension contributions from a tax perspective (PAYE relief granted at the marginal rate but no PRSI or USC relief).
