From what I gathered if, for example, I'm between 30 and 39 years old my tax relief is of 20%, and if I earn €100,000 a year, my relief would be €20,000. Any AVC above those €20,000 would be charged.Some figures might help.
But if you contribute more than your age related pension tax relief limit in a year then you simply don't get any tax relief on the excess.
What is my "marginal rate"? Income tax + PRSI + USC?You will get tax relief at your marginal rate up to your maximum age allowance each year. If you decide to pay a larger amount into your AVCs which is on excess of your age limit, you can carry the surplus AVC tax relief forward to future years.
Yes.From what I gathered if, for example, I'm between 30 and 39 years old my tax relief is of 20%
This is not strictly correct - your relief is not €20K.and if I earn €100,000 a year, my relief would be €20,000.
Yes.Any AVC above those €20,000 would be charged.
If you contribute, say, €25K then you will still pay 40% tax on the €5K over your age related limit.Question is, given this example, what taxes am I going to be charged?
Great! Makes sense! Thanks for the help!Marginal tax is the rate you pay on your topmost income. Either 20% or 40%.
If your total earnings are for instance 5000 euro above your 20% tax band you have marginal earnings of 5000 euro taxed at 40%.
So in this example if you made AVCs of 7k . You would get relief at 40% on 5k and 20% on 2k.
After paying your AVCs you effectively then have a marginal tax rate of 20%.
