I'm sorry for the very simple PRSA question. I am relatively poor at understanding the financial jargon, and just need to have things explained to me in laymans language. I have read the posts on here (and other sites) over the past month to try to get up to speed. I suppose I am just looking for some affirmation from the brains trust on the site that what I am planning to do is the best way of doing things, and if I have got the information correct.
To set up a standard PRSA,
- I use a broker with the least contribution rates, and lowest annual management charges to set up the PRSA.
- After setting up the PRSA, for an amount that I decide, the company that I get the PRSA with, sends me a form that allows me to claim tax back.
- I fill this form out and sent to the revenue.
- Does my employer get informed that I have set up a PRSA, even if they are not contributing to the PRSA???
The money comes out of my account every month (if its set up that way)
Is that it? Is there anything else that I should do? I am sorry for using this site for advise like this, the financial jargon gets me - even terms for relatively simple concepts take time for me to process. Thanks very much for your time reading this. Its greatly appreciated, as would any feedback.
