Q: In Ireland is it enough to have a no parking sign, or must it also be reinforced with double yellow lines? Heres the scenario: I parked in an area that does have a no parking sign 5 cars away pointed in my direction, its far enough away that in a city with other trees etc I didnt see it, the...

I think I'll go for it (the moss will need to be cleaned from the windows seals :)

I turned one down before, but my OAP neighbour is getting rid of his '03 Rover 75 (he's about 70 now , and his wife has convinved him its time to stop driving) It Black and dripping with Chrome, reminds me of the P5B, but has about about 80k miles, but has been sitting for almost 6 months. The...

if you lodge money to your CU a/c then you won't get the paper lodgement docket... actually you will... next time you go into the CU and do something all your dockets will be printed and the person at the counter will give them to you

Generally speaking its bad for you and good for the employer. You lose things like paid holidays, sick days, you go back to a dickenzian system whereby you are paid for the hours you work and that is that. You can be let go on a whim. I've found in some industries people start off on contracts...

who designed this silly system? and did they leave instructions before they passed away?!

thanks for your patience, but I read it any my frustration stems from yet another poorly worded sentence on that page.... You get credits automatically if you are fully unemployed and getting Jobseeker's Benefit. I assume fully unemployed means no work at all. I, like many others, do work...

oops, never mind, that page gives list, but doesn't answer my question, I'll adopt a wait and see appraoch and then be annoyed in two years when I try and get new glasses using PRSI

so what is "signing on for credits" you know... people say... even if you don't want the money just sign on for the "credits"

To use familiar terms... As the Department of Social Welfare is your "employer" do they pay PRSI contributions every week that you are on JB? Their "payslip" is pretty useless it doesn't mention PRSI, and doesn't have a running total of how much JB you've received in a calendar year. What...

Thanks for this excellent info. I too must get a "certificate of taxable benefit" from the Dept of SW. I suppose I then post that the the Revenue Commissioners? (because it is the Revenue that would want to tax me)

>mainly for paye/prsi, I asked a real life accountant today who said flat rate expenses were only for PAYE. but as with anything to do with Revenue rules, no one really knows? do they? its all a mystery

http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/flat-rate-expenses.xls Lets say I was a "Journalist" in 2009. But only for 2 months, could I claim the full amount? Where is the claim for or do I write the Revenue a letter? Must the job have been PAYE, what if it was as a Sole trader?

The tone here agrees with what I've been thinking with regard to the Revenue... everything is fine until something goes wrong, and then the taxpayer (who might not have a lot of money) has to face the Revenue Commissioners (with their experts, lawyers, and limitless funds compliments by...

I've been on JB for 6 months, I just came across a page on revenue.ie http://www.revenue.ie/en/personal/tax-refunds.html " I am unemployed - can I claim a refund of tax? If tax has been deducted from your pay since 1 January last and you are now unemployed you may be entitled to a tax...

>Jobseekers' Benefit is taxable. Jobseekers' Assistance is not taxable this is just one of the many things they won't tell tell you in the SW office, because in our silly system The Revenue Commissioners and Dept of Social Welfare are two seperate organs, and you will be sent from Peter to...

I also take screenshots, buts doesn;t it annoy you when the finished article never appears on one final page at the end, or as a downloadable PDF, who wants to take screen shots of 20 pages along the way, or perhaps even 3 screen shots it the page scrolls vertically. I am weary of making things...

>What happens if you log into your bank account and there's nothing there? (And you haven't spent the money yourself) Then I contact my bank and say I didn't make the withdrawl. We go to court where I can produce my 15 years of paper original bank statements, and ever ATM docket ever received...

>What if they make a mistake? Then you end up in court in 20 years time or in font of a tribunal for tax evasion, and you have nothing to fall back on, don;t you wish you used a paper form now?! ok thats tongue in cheek, With OCR the computer reads most of the figures, thats why there are...

back in the dot bomb days it was all the rage to register an EUR 20 online RBN for the sole purpose of getting a .ie domain... websites long forgotten RBNs still "active"
