PRSA Credit for an idiot

    Any simple explanation as to what is going on here with PRSA credits

    Are the 2 related?

    My understanding of PRSA contributions (if not taken at source) are that they should be a tax credit.

    Any reason why some are gone against the 20% rate?

    Also these appear to have been carried from last year, I have paid no PRSAs this year, yet.

    The treatment is correct.

    To give you 40% tax relief, they do two things.

    They increase your SRCOP, saving you 20% tax on the contribution.

    Then they give you a tax credit of 1/5 of the contribution.

    You will note the same treatment applied to the flat-rate expenses.
