Director Pensions
Smart, Tax-Efficient Retirement Planning for Company Directors
As a company director, your pension is more than just a retirement fund – it’s one of the most tax-efficient ways to extract wealth from your business while planning for your future. At Dolmen Insurance, we help directors maximise pension contributions, reduce corporation tax, and build a retirement plan that matches both personal and business goals.

Why Do You Need a Director Pension?
For business owners and company directors in Ireland, pensions provide a unique opportunity to combine tax savings with long-term financial security.
With a Director Pension, you can:
- Reduce corporation tax – pension contributions are deductible business expenses
- Backdate income tax relief – contributions can be offset against the previous tax year (ROS deadlines apply)
- Build personal wealth – shift funds from company assets into your own name tax-efficiently
- Access flexible retirement options – choose benefits that suit your lifestyle and goals
- Take a lump sum at retirement – up to €200,000 tax-free available, with an additional income allowance of up to €36,000 tax-free annually
- Protect your family – ensure your pension wealth forms part of your estate
