    Other Section 72 Policy

    I wasn't quite sure whether to post this in taxation or insurance. As some of you will know a Section 72 policy is a policy whereby the an individuals Capital Acquisitions Tax liability is covered by the policy. I was wondering if anyone currently has one of these policies or could...

    VRT enforcement procedure

    I love the colour of the reg plates. Doesn't the yellow make the back of the car look so much better. I also love the fact that people don't know how old the car is! Personally I feel anyone who thinks VRT is a reasonable tax is completes nuts. The idea of someone living in, say, the border...

    VRT enforcement procedure

    I mentioned that it costs a minimum of €300,000 to take a case to the ECJ, now how many individuals pay over €300,000 in VRT in a life time? If you assumed an individual was paying €12,000 VRT a vehicle then would be 25 cars. There was a group of people who almost were successful in bringing a...

    VRT enforcement procedure

    Watch your acquisitions. It's irresponsible and silly to be suggesting that other posters are advocating breaking the law. I simply said to all those driving Northern Reg cars I salute you. Caveat are you telling me it's illegal to drive a Northern Reg car in southern Ireland? You'd clearly...

    VRT enforcement procedure

    As for the initial post I suppose you could contact a solicitor and make sure that all technicalities were in order when the Garda took the vechile off you. You might get off the fine but I doubt it. To everyone out there who is driving a northern reg, I salute you!

    VRT enforcement procedure

    I don't mean a moral right at all. The property regardless of where it is registered is the individuals and not the Gardai's. If someone, who could potentially be impersonating a Garda, pulls me over and tells me he/she is taking it and impounding it then that individual is entitled to sight...

    VRT enforcement procedure

    I know where the power to seize unregistered cars derives itself from. I was simply stating that whether it was the President of Ireland or a Garda I'd like to see some official documentation from his/her insurance company stating that the individual is fully insured when driving my car. I'm...

    VRT enforcement procedure

    Firstly have how long have you been living in Northern Ireland? There is a VRT exemption whereby somebody has been working abroad (i.e Northern Ireland) and moves back to Ireland they can register the car and won't be subject to VRT on it. There is a guide to VRT on the Revenue webiste. The...

    Inheritance

    Ok fair enough about the idiots comments but I find it really irritating when when people give ill-advised information. As for me being wrong about the €3,000 being taken off an inheritance, I'm sure you'll be delighted to know that I am in fact correct. If I could refer you to CATA76 S53...

    Stamp Duty Clawback

    That's Revenue's next port of call, I really wouldn't try something like that. The number of people getting away with not paying the clawback has been quite big over the last number of years. I've heard that Revenue intend on stamp duty being there next project. Just as pension funds and...

    CGT - Selling Second House

    Yes you will be liable to CGT on a portion of the gain if you rent the property out and then subsequently sell it. CGT in Ireland is taxed @ 20%. When calculating the CGT on the house you will only pay CGT on the portion that relates to the period of time that the house was not your PPR. (i.e...

    Inheritance

    No insult meant at all. I mean exactly what I said...... Think about it for a second, what's the name of the exemption?? SMALL GIFT........ Is the gift of a house a small gift? It's not like the €1,270 CGT allowance. Go read IT39
