thanksPlenty of existing threads on this issue if you search.
is it simply just a matter of calling standard life. no need for a broker I assumeDeal with an execution only broker.
Don't deal directly with an AVC provider as they will charge full rate fees.
If you deal directly with Standard life (a provider) you will likely be charged full 5% allocation fee on all contributions you make to the AVC.is it simply just a matter of calling standard life. no need for a broker I assume
If you are willing to put a small amount of effort into the AVC, I would suggest the following.ya I'm in the same boat. the whole thing is so confusing. on one hand I don't eat to pay zurich the big fees and on thr other hand I'm not sure how to go about execution only with thr likes of davy select.
Hmm, interesting - are you saying this could be done for payments for a current tax year, i.e., under "manage your tax 2023"?Even if you set up a PRSA-AVC, not linked to your employer, you can still get the tax relief coded into your tax credits.
Did your standard rate band also increase?After a quick play around in revenue.ie under the 2023 AVC section, my tax credits were only increased by 20% of the prospective AVC amount rather than my marginal rate of 40%,
thanks for the information bstopIf you are willing to put a small amount of effort into the AVC, I would suggest the following.
Get a PRSA brochure from Zurich.
You will be setting up an AVC PRSA.
Check the range of funds available and their risk level.
Choose which funds you would like to invest in. You can choose one or as many as you like to divide your contributions into.
When you are happy with the selected funds contact an execution only broker and ask for an AVC PRSA application pack.
I have used " prsa.ie. "
The broker will send you all the forms and fees details
You can liaise with the broker if you need assistance filling out the application forms.
Did your standard rate band also increase?
You didn't answer my question.The figure in "Tax credits increased by" is 20% of the claimed AVC figure, whereas I would have expected it to be 40%?View attachment 7212
But how could I see that? Back at Overview, I see the amount of the (20%) AVC credit as Pending, but I don't believe you can see a new tax credit cert unless you submit the return for real.You didn't answer my question.
