Can a self-employed/sole trader claim PRSI relief on payments made to their PRSA Pension?
 
Yes. but, only against income derived in the same year as the pension contribution.
 

Refunds will only be made where you have been granted income tax relief on the contribution against
‘reckonable earnings’ [earnings from an insurable employment or insurable (occupational injuries)

employment] or ‘reckonable emoluments’ [directors salary and fees].
A refund cannot be claimed in respect of pension contributions that are tax deductible against other income

which is not ‘reckonable earnings’ or ‘reckonable emoluments’ ie income from a trade or profession.

From Form CGPRSI1 - the form used to apply for the refund. Fairly self explanatory.
