Public service pension and private pension

[ClubMan]

As long as I make an avc PRSA pension contribution by 31 October 2023, is it okay if I then actually claim this for 2022 on my 2022 income tax return via My Account on Revenue at a later date or must I have my income tax return done by 31 October 2023 too? (PAYE Worker, no other income)

You need to make the contribution and the tax relief claim by October 31st.

Tax relief on pension contributions

This page outlines the tax relief available for pension contributions

You may pay a once-off or special contribution after the end of a tax year. This must be done before the following 31 October.

If you make this payment, you can choose to have the tax relief for the contributions allowed in the earlier tax year. This must also be carried out before 31 October of the following year.
