    Hello

    5 more years to work hopefully.

    Then I hope to be able to draw my UK pension and UK company employment pension both 15 years. I did not pay extra years into my UK pension.

    Plus my Irish employment pension which should be for 14 years and whatever Irish pension I might get.

    How are you taxed on all these payments. Any advice pointers gratefully accepted.

    Assuming you live in Ireland:

    (1) the State Pension is not taxed at source, as there is no means to do so.

    (2) instead, your tax credits and SRCOP will be adjusted to account for the tax due on the State Pension, and that tax will be paid through your Irish work pension

    (3) how UK pensions are taxed in Ireland is a bit tricky, I would have to do some reading, sorry, too busy now.

    If your UK pensions do not relate to government/civil service work, then they should not be subject to UK tax and will be taxable in Ireland. You will need to submit an annual Form 11 to declare the income and pay Irish tax on it.

    You could also request your tax credit certificate is updated to take account of these payments, which would effectively tax them at source. But it would remove the obligation to file an annual tax return.
