On the offline (RPF) form 1 firms I cant seem to get a readable printable copy. Any tips?

Is it possible to back register a RTB registration to cover a number of different tenants, none of whom are now tenants. Important as tax returns are now being submitted and want to deduct interest as an expense (not allowed if RTB not up to date).

No engagement letter in the world makes an accountant responsible for errors in the books, records or procedures of a non-client. (in this case, the OP's supplier) Quite right but it does contain paragraphs on care and attention. I feel that this has not happened here. You have to admit that...

The OP should be really, really careful dealing with this supplier. If they have not charged you this vat means one of two things: 1) Their accounts system is poor and therefore all their bills need to be checked, their liquidity needs to be questioned and the quality of their work or goods also...

At the very least your accountant would be expected to look over your records and have some cursory check of the records. A supplier supplying goods/services that gives rise to a €100,000 charge not being registered for VAT is, dependant upon the overall turnover, something I would expect either...

Soft advice being given here. In all probability you will have to pay the VAT. However there is no way you should pay any of it until you get your refund from the revenue. This could take a long time as you will, dependant upon your turnover and past history, almost certainly be audited. This...

At least an answer. Probably a fair answer!

I agree with comments that brother was wrong and he will have to face the music. Indeed he has already paid the amounts due even though the majority of employees did not want the CFOPS. Not all construction businesses make huge profits and his employees were well treated. Hints of mis-treatment...

I think Purple has summed it up pretty well. I suppose the only option is to go out of business/bankruptcy. The CIF is a body that represents some builders - not all. The scheme of pension contributions is a statutory obligation - no choice. Blocklayer on €900 a week costs the employer €1,040 a...

Many thanks lads.

Re: CIF pension Perhaps they should fund their own pension like we all do. I presume you live in the ideal world of the PAYE worker. Business is tough. Try it some day.

Sale price was 610K So 610K - 135.5K - Say 10K costs minus 2.5 allowances x 18% * 20% = €16,630ROUGHLY!!!

My brothers business (sole trader) has undergone a monitoring visit from the CIF pension scheme. They have come up with a bill of €70,000 going back over 4 years. This will bankrupt my brother. Whilst not denying the liability is there any way that the CIF will back down on their demands? For...

My advice is to speak to local auctioneers. Whatever they ask offer at least 20% lower. Some sellers are desperate. Even with a lower offer they are still making a profit.

A friend of mine is selling his house in a small town. He is getting €1 million for it. His accountant advises him that he will have to pay CGT on the excess of the million over the current use value of the house which is estimated at €400,000. The buyer is the neighbouring shopkeeper. However...

Cong/Cross is a lovely area to live in. Due to an oversupply of land there are many empty unsold houses in this area - especially Cross which is cheaper than Cong - less tourism. This can be a problem in Cong as some of these tourists can be pretty intimidating. Cross is a lovely village with a...

I have had contrary advice from 2 different tax advisors. My brother in law who I help out has asked me to enquire about a tax situation. He is granting a licence to a company whereby they extract sand from a 7 acre field over a 5 year period leaving the field back suitable for cattle grazing...

Despite what has been stated on other threads an accountant colleague of mine maintains that I can claim vat on diesel going into a diesel car used for business. You cannot claim for the car but you can for the diesel and other expenses.

Can VAT be claimed on diesel going into a A) diesel car or B) commercial vehicle?

I have a construction/development company with a business partner for the last 4 years. We are going our seperate ways and wish to wind up the company. Can we take the remaining cash (€100,000)in the company and pay 20% CGT. Whats to stop us forming a new company and repeating the trick in a few...
