Yes:- Can I retrospectively pay a lump sum for 2005, and claim tax relief on the amount?
You can do that as well or you can do it any time before October 31st 2007.- Or can I only pay in a lump sum from Jan 2006 to date?
You'd need to ask your employer.Given that I'm in an occupational scheme, can I just make the contributions through payroll as normal, prior to Oct 31st '06, in respect of 2005?
No - the contribution must be lodged before the deadline to qualify for "backdated" relief against 2005 income otherwise it will be set against 2006 income.It can be a slow process (matter of weeks) to make changes pension contributions - if the contribution is not made by Oct 31st, can I claim the relief anyway?
Why not just put it in Cash (or equivalent) Fund NOW and then you can take your time to think about switching it after?
Yes:
Don't forget to also claim PRSI relief: .......................................
You can do that as well or you can do it any time before October 31st 2007.
No just 2% on earnings over the PRSI cut-off...this has been very well discussed!
No need to say sorry...I was not having a go...I made the remark because it was such a contentious issue!!
