What is the income limit for a fuel allowance?
This means that you can have capital/savings, providing they are less than €58,000, and be eligible for a Fuel Allowance. (€58,000 is equivalent to just over €100 a week under the capital means assessment rules .) The assessable income limit for a single person under 80 is €348.30 (€100 plus €248.30)
Do you have to have a pension to get a fuel allowance?
You can have a combined weekly income of €100 above the maximum State Pension (Contributory) for your situation and still be eligible for a Fuel Allowance.
Do you have to pay taxes on business allowances?
Whether your car and other business-related allowances count as a taxable income often depend on how your employer lists those allocations: If your employer has an “accountable” plan, in which it requires you to submit specific information about your claim to receive reimbursement, those allowances may not count as taxable income.
Do you count car allowance as taxable income?
If your employer has a non-accountable plan and does not require you to submit any information about your vehicle usage or mileage, on the other hand, you may have to count your car allowance as taxable income. Under a non-accountable plan, your employer simply provides you with a set amount of money based on its standards.
