However, I note the FX rate on the day my pension is paid and that averaged 1.2139 over the 12 months.

I think you will find you have to use the rate set by the Tax office. It doesn't help that different tax offices show different rates.

I always use the Customs and Excise, it is a Government Department so there is no argument . The average for 2016 is 1.2376
