Taxation of Maternity Benefit

Maternity and Adoptive Benefit will be taxable for all claimants with effect from 1 July 2013. As with all Department of Social Protection benefits it is not subject to USC.

Health and Safety Benefit, payable to pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, is a form of Maternity Benefit and will also be subject to the same tax rules as Maternity Benefit.

Once Revenue finalise guidelines relating to the procedures to be adopted by employers to deduct and remit this tax to Revenue we will issue a payroll upgrade, this will be prior to effective date of 01st July 2013.
