Cadre staff in rural, non permanent posts were getting almost double the
amount of RDF Allowance their counterparts in manned posts were getting,
as far as I can remember
But would the loss of this allowance be sufficient to spark off an exodus ?
It's not like the country is flush with jobs in civvy street at the moment,
even allowing for the fact that most of these bods would probably be > 21 yrs
merchants...

"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"
No, what is happening is they are taxing Cadre RDF allowance same as RDF pay i.e. into PAYE instead of self declaration by the looks of it.
Somebody in revenue trying to make a name for themselves; I mean with all the crap that went on why on earth would somebody bother with this end of the PS - is this really what you want Revenue doing instead of chasing the HVTs in the property and fin sectors ?
"In this regard, it proposes to discontinue the payment of RDF Allowance and to make provision for the allowance by way of subsistence claims submitted in accordance with Civil Service travel and subsistence scheme"
So, as TD says, there is a difference in the journeys and allowance paid for different posts. This new proposal creates an equal footing, and is subsistence based, which requires accountability on approval of the subsistence claims !
instructed that RDF Allowance would be subject to income tax deductions from a date in early 2008
was what happened to us re RDF pay.
I went looking for this lo these many years ago and found it in the Dail debates about RDF pay. I suppose what bothers me is Revenue acting the mickey in removing these historical precedents without referring to them publicly, it is similar to a right-of-way being removed without consultation I think.

There is reasons for it, for example if you were SLI / more travel / more travel for duties etc.

RDF allowance must have been looked at by Revenue as subsistence (ie tax free) and now they have realised they would be unvouched expenses and possibly taxable. Question is will they go back 7 years!?
RDF allowance is to be scrapped and replaced by subsistence (I presume the existing AF180 ( off the top of my head)).

TD I think so. The Reserve is no longer appealing therefore fellas will either retire or go back to their mother unit. I predict Cead Cath,6 Bn and 28th Bn will be getting a number of their NCOs and privates back from reserve units here in the west.

I can assure you revenue have nothing to do with it, and your accusations are unfounded.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
