I am thinking of taking a 6-12 month career break in spring 2024. My question is what are the responsible steps I should take with my pension before resigning from my position:
1) Can I make a bulk lodgement from my savings into my company contributation pension account just before I leave so the pension is funded during my break? And can I claim back the tax?
2) My understanding is I will lose control of the pension plan once I leave the company. Can I create a PRSA while I am still employed then transfer my company occupational pension into my PRSA?
3) Some countries will allow you to pay a small amount into your pension and receive tax back even when not working or self-employed. Is this the case in Ireland?
