You can also add to this investment by electing to forego some of your pre-tax salary over 6 months and buy more Diageo shares. This plan element is commonly known as Salary Foregone. Your total share investment under the Profitshare plan should not exceed the Irish Revenue maximum annually.
For further information on the plan, please refer to the Profitshare Infographic (PDF 338KB) and Profitshare Employee Booklet (PDF 1.64MB).
