Hi
I live in NI but my in laws are in South.
They are pensioners and get about €300 a week each between State and Private pensions, so approx €15,600 each.
What tax band are they in and what % tax would they pay? Also what can they earn before they go into the next band and what is it?
They are due an income windfall of €17.5k each over the next 2 tax years.

Thanks in advance

Couples earning under 36k pay zero income tax, if they are aged over 65.

If the couple aged over 65 earn a bit more than 36k combined, then marginal relief may apply.

Otherwise, the regular income tax credits and bands apply.
