Benefits of Saving With Us
You’re not just a customer, you’re a member of a successful financial co-operative
Please note
All Credit Union share dividend and deposit interest paid to members (including children) will be paid net of DIRT, with the exception of dividend or interest paid to members who are exempt from DIRT. The only members who can be exempt are:
- Members aged over 65 whose total income is less that the relevant limit, currently €18,000 for an individual and €36,000 for a married couple. For married couples, only one of the spouses needs to be over 65. To avail of this exception, you must sign a self-declaration form DE1. This is a declaration that you (or your spouse) are aged over 65 and that your total income is less than the relevant limit. The form is available in the office or can be downloaded below.
- Members who are permanently incapacitated. Such members should either contact their local Revenue Commissioners office directly or contact a service body such as the Irish Wheelchair Association. Credit unions have no role in approving the exemption in these cases.
