- Start-up Refunds for Entrepreneurs (SURE): This scheme allows an entrepreneur investing in his/her new business a refund of PAYE tax paid over the previous six years. Certain conditions apply and the limit on the SURE investment is effectively €700,000, as up to €100,000 may be relieved in the aggregate of the previous 6 tax years and the current year

Full relief is available up to €40,000 and marginal relief available up to €60,000. However the relief is restricted depending on Employer PRSI paid.
- The maximum amount on which you can claim relief in a year is
- €150,000 in respect of years up to and including 2019
- €500,000 in respect of the years after 2019, subject to the shares to be held for 7 years or
- €250,000 in respect of the years after 2019 where those shares are held for a minimum period of 4 years.
