My wife has worked in the HSE as a clerical officer since 2000, she job shares ie 2 days one week thu & fri then mon, tue wed following week, she will reach retirement age in 2022, my query is should we consider purchasing an AVC in order to avail of maximum tax free lump sum on retirement, ie will she have 22yrs service out of 40 for revenue purposes or will she only have 11years service, her salary is circa €19k, many thanks for replies
 
From a revenue perspective she will have 22 years service. Paying an AVC will enable her to maximise tax free lump sum.
 
many thanks for reply ABank, now i wish to find out as i earn €60k she earns €20k i pay tax at higher rate she pays tax on lower rate, ie i have all the allowances is their anyway this can be adjusted to bring her to higher tax bracket in order to get better value from her AVC contribution say for next 4-5 years again thanks for replies.
