what we could not find a definitive answer to was can they use the tax relief for this period with their new employer or are there other ways of using this, e.g. a standalone pension product to contribute to??
They can also make contributions for 2023 provided they do so before 31st Oct this year. When making the payment to the pension provider say that it is to go against 2023. Ask revenue for a balancing statement for 2023.
No they can't as they are no longer in the employment or pension scheme they were in during 2023. The ability to backdate AVCs into the previous tax year for tax relief purposes ends when you leave the relevant employment.
As an aside, what's the point of this provision? Why is it important that your tax relief is attached to an employer and dies when you leave them?
