Hi, can someone please give me a simple example of the above, say a 50 year old earning 100k per year self employed with a tax bill of €50k for 2015 looking to make a lump sum payment with no other income or no existing/previous pension contributions? Is there a calculator or formula for this? Thanks
 
He can put 30% of €100k into his pension (i.e. €30k). That reduces his tax bill by €12k.
 
...it will also reduce his prelim for 2017 by €12k too
