The Department of Social Protection issues a weekly report to the Revenue Commissioners advising of taxable payments that issued to State Pension (contributory) recipients.

This weekly report includes year to date amounts and highlights when payments have issued for previous tax years.

The table below includes the number of customers who have been awarded State Pension (contributory) from 01/01/2020 to 31/10/2025.
