Taxation of Maternity Benefit

Maternity Benefit

Maternity benefit will be standarised to €230 per week for new claimants from 01st January 2014. In 2013 it lay between €217 – €262 for women.

Maternity Benefit will continue to be subject to PAYE as announced in the 2013 Budget. This tax will be collected through the reduction of the individuals tax credits and cut-off points by Revenue and will not be deducted by the employer.

The employer will make no adjustments within the payroll for Maternity Benefit but will apply the latest amended Tax Credit Certificate (P2C) to the employee upon receipt.
