Further extension to Revenue concession on personal pension and PRSA policyholders over age 75

Due to Covid restrictions, Revenue gave a concession on personal pensions and PRSAs for policyholders reaching age 75. These clients had until 31st January 2022 to take their retirement benefits, before their plans become vested and frozen. This concession has been extended to 30th June 2022.

In addition, Revenue has clarified that had an imputed distribution been due on a PRSA solely because the client had reached age 75, this requirement will not apply in 2021 (as was also the case in 2020).

The reason for these concessions is that Revenue recognises that this is a particularly vulnerable group of customers and, due to medical guidance, they may be unable to meet their adviser and complete their claim documentation at the current time.
