Claiming Tax Relief
This year the Revenue has made a slight change to how tax relief is claimed—this is due to the fact that pension providers (insurance companies) are often unable to provide a receipt for clients in time for the Tax Deadline. The Revenue has agreed as an interim measure, that you can upload your own document as part of your income tax claim.
The following information must be included in the document:
(i) Date pension contribution paid
(ii) Amount
(iii) Type of pension contribution to which the contribution was paid eg AVC, OPS, PRSA or personal pension
(iv) Policy Number/Scheme no if applicable
(v) Your name and address
(vi) Confirmation that tax relief was not allowed on the contribution through net pay.
