I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that arrangements are in place to identify recipients of State and occupational pensions. On-going collaboration between Revenue and the Department of Social Protection is aimed at identifying recipients of all types of State pensions.

Providers of occupational pensions, which are registered with Revenue as employers, make annual returns that allows Revenue identify recipients of occupational pensions. Those in receipt of foreign-based pensions must declare this income on an annual return to Revenue.

Revenue is active in ensuring that all pension types are properly identified and declared, and that any liability occurring as a result of the receipt of any pension is pursued.
