Position Regarding Voluntary Payments by Judges
To date (28 September), 72 Judges have paid or made arrangements to make voluntary payments under arrangements made by the judiciary with the Revenue Commissioners in the context of the pension levy. Payments amounting to €329,800 have been received to date. In addition, commitments via standing orders etc, which amount to €46,400 per month, have been given.
It is important to emphasise that these voluntary payments can be made at any time and at varying frequencies - monthly, quarterly, annually. There is no single specific "due date" by which payments must be made. There is still ample time under the arrangements for voluntary payments to be made and further payments continue to be received.
