I will move on to the standard funds threshold and the chargeable excess tax, CET, scheme. I am looking for clarification on the idea of a pension pot. A number of people have spoken about when a pension pot exceeds €2 million. My understanding of public sector pensions is there is no pot. It is effectively payment for one's retirement. It is dealt with as a salary but the person does not attend a place of work.
