Our first child will be going to college next year. We are approx €5000 over the limit to get the special rate of the grant, as you can imagine funds very are tight. I think that pension contributions are deducted from reckonable income, so can we make a single contribution of €5000 now and have it counted against this tax year? If so, what is the easiest way to go about it, and what are the key steps? Thanks for your help.
