Taxsaver v Leap Card

Ladjacket · 2018-01-03 17:25:13

Hello, I am currently living in Maynooth and working in Dublin City Centre and use a mixture of Irish Rail and Dublin Bus to commute. I am topping up by approx. €150 a month on leap card. Would a taxsaver be cheaper than this? Thanks LJ

this allows use of dublin bus and commuter rail services from maynooth - €180 for a month, but you save at least €52; €88 saved if you're in the higher tax bracket.

so it would be cheaper.
an annual ticket is 10x the cost of a monthly ticket so would be cheaper again.
