Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC)

Tax efficient

You can claim tax relief against AVCs, subject to revenue limits. And your investment growth won’t be taxed.

Making contributions

You can make contributions to your AVC through your employer, or by yourself. Making contributions through your employer is usually the most straightforward, since each contribution can be taken from your salary. If you make personal additional contributions you’ll have to claim tax back from Revenue.

When you retire

When you retire, your AVC contributions need to be taken in the same way as the benefits from your company pension scheme.
