The Employee Pension System (EPS) generally operates on a pre-tax basis, similar to OPERS. This means your contributions reduce your taxable income during your working years. However, just like OPERS, the withdrawals during retirement will be taxed as income. Understanding these tax implications can help you manage your financial planning more effectively.
