The annual allowance payable to Reserve members as a contribution towards their expenses is set at €1,000 per annum. The Finance (No. 2) Act 2013 provided that the allowance paid to members of Garda Reserve be exempt from taxation. Garda Reserve members are also reimbursed for expenses incurred while attending court in respect of their service as a Reserve member.
