Avoiding Emergency Tax on private pensions

You might receive a private pension:

paid by your former employer
through a pension company
from your deceased spouse's or civil partner's pension provider.

To avoid having emergency tax deducted from this pension you can:

provide your pension provider with your Personal Public Service Number (PPSN). Your pension provider will then request a Revenue Payroll Notification (RPN).
tell Revenue about your new pension by clicking 'Add Job or Pension Details' under 'PAYE Services' in myAccount. An RPN will be made available to your pension provider.

When your pension provider receives the RPN, they can use it to calculate your tax and Universal Social Charge (USC).

A Tax Credit Certificate (TCC) will also be issued to you. You will be able to view, print or download your TCC in 'My Documents' folder in myAccount.
