How do tax credits work?
Tax credits reduce your income tax bill euro for euro. They are applied after your gross tax is calculated using the 20% and 40% rates. This means a €1,000 tax credit saves you exactly €1,000 in tax, regardless of your tax rate. Tax credits cannot reduce your tax below zero -- they are non-refundable.
What is the difference between tax credits and tax relief?
Tax credits are deducted directly from your tax bill. Tax relief (like pension relief) reduces your taxable income before tax is calculated. Relief at the higher rate (40%) is more valuable than the standard rate (20%) relief. Credits benefit everyone equally regardless of income.
