Tax on Foreign Pensions

Issybelle · 2020-11-27 13:12:35

I am a pensioner and receive an Irish Pension. I also worked in Canada for 10 years and receive a small pension which is taxed. I am confused about whether I need to claim this pension when I file a tax return here and pay tax on it again. Any advice would be welcome.

Yes you should declare it.

There is a double taxation agreement with Canada:
