What's an RAC Certificate?

Oral Slang

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows what an RAC Certificate & how do you go about getting one?
My other half has a van that he uses for work. His boss only pays for fuel & my other half bought the van, pays for tax, insurance, doe, service etc.
He sent in Claim Forms for Car Expenses & Capital Allowance for the past few years, but has just gotten a letter back from the Revenue asking for a letter from his boss confirming that he pays for fuel only & asking for his RAC Certificates.
I've googled it but I'm unclear as to what exactly it is.
Thanks!

Hi

Retirement Annuity Contract? Does he have a pension?

The RAC certificate required by Revenue has nothing to do with the Royal Automobile Club, motoring or vehicle breakdown but refers to Retirement Annuity Contract, normally referred to as a personal pension.

An RAC certificate would have issued from his pension provider confirming the contributions made during a particular tax year.

Ah ok, came across 1 or 2 references to pensions & wasn't sure why. We submitted med 1 forms & the car expenses at the same time. They sent him his P21's for the years claimed for, asked for us to resubmit his car expense forms with a letter from his employer & to sent his RAC forms, so I thought they must relate to the van.

Mustn't be anything to do with them so. He has a PRSA with Irish Life, so must have RAC Certificates somewhere here.

Thanks a mil. He works for a very small company (3 people), so gets no advice in work.

Would the RAC Certificate just be the half yearly statement? That seems to be all that is sent regularly?
