Claiming tax relief for AVC.

Great. Thanks. That makes sense.

Yes, revenue gave me the incorrect information on phone.

I’ve submitted the details incorrectly now, with an enquiry questioning it, so I’m sure they will sort it all out. Hopefully.

I will update when resolved……..
 
Just bumping this (and apologies Confused28 for hijacking your thread).

Thanks Clubman for explaining about the standard rate band. You explained that to me on a previous thread last year, so I should have said above that I had initially expected the tax credit increase to be €2,880, until you set me right.

I’m still a bit unsure on the below two information boxes on MyRevenue and, on reflection and reading the various responses above, think I may have submitted incorrect information to Revenue previously.

Amount of AVC contributions relieved under the net pay arrangement in 2025

I think this is straightforward. I do not make any other AVC contributions (i.e. none are deducted from my salary at source) so this is €0.

Amount of total net pay contributions relieved under the net pay arrangement in 2025

I put this as €0 when claiming tax relief. However, on my payslip, I pay ASC of €10,200 per year and something called DB Cont Scheme of €2,640 per year. I think I should have put €2,640 when claiming tax relief.

Does this sound right? If so, I will need to correct it with Revenue. Thanks.
 
The presence of ASC implies that you are a public servant.

I presume DB Cont Scheme refers to the normal 6.5% superannuation contributions made by most public servants.
 
Thanks, Protocol. Yes, I’m a public servant (NTMA). I’m still unsure of what to answer to Amount of total net pay contributions relieved under the net pay arrangement in 2025.
 
Thanks. On my payslip, I pay ASC and DB Cont Scheme, both of which are compulsory. So, I only put the DB Cont Scheme amount?
