    Pension management

    Possibly a commonly considered query so bear with me, I am signed up with my employer’s pension scheme that is managed / administered by one of the big pension firms who offer approx 20 different funds that can be invested in. Do other people actively track performance of funds etc and swap...

    UK Car Imports after 1st January 2021

    Cheers, it will be interesting to see how it all works out. I see that pre 2021 registered NI cars are exempt from VAT and Customs Duty, so would just have to sort out VRT and NOx. It really is a shame that the government continues to charge such high VRT rates on new cars bought in Ireland.

    UK Car Imports after 1st January 2021

    So it seems that there is 0% Customs Duty, with 21% VAT payable. Following on from Roker’s comment above, can the UK VAT be refunded before / after Irish VAT is paid.

    UK Car Imports after 1st January 2021

    Thanks for all the answers including the obvious unhelpful ones ;). Looking at two of the examples of the customs duty calculation on the revenue website it seems to be either set at 0% or 12% but the examples are not car imports (I believe car imports from the US were charged at 10% with the...

    UK Car Imports after 1st January 2021

    Thanks, I understand that part of it, but will that change the cost of a car imported from the UK On 1st Jan 2021 compared with 31st December i.e. Is there a difference in the duty and vat or is that taking potential future differences into account?

    UK Car Imports after 1st January 2021

    This may have been covered elsewher, but leaving aside the latest budget will there be additional taxes / duties applied to cars being imported from the UK? A car being imported up to 31st December is covered under the VRT calculator on the ROS website, but what about after?

    Rental Deposit - Solicitor's Letter

    Thanks for all the feedback. I would agree with Towger's recommendations. Just for info (As mentioned previously), the PRTB will not get involved unless the tenancy was registered. I checked with them, and asked them to get involved, but no hope.

    Rental Deposit - Solicitor's Letter

    I can understand what you are saying, but I have been on to the PRTB and as the tenancy was never registered they will not get involved.

    Rental Deposit - Solicitor's Letter

    Broken bed, door broken off dryer, missing microwave, broken gas hob, broken side gate, broken lawnmower x 2, etc etc. I have noted where cleaning was required, but have not made any deductions for the same.

    Rental Deposit - Solicitor's Letter

    As a Landlord, I made certain reasonable deductions from a tenants deposit and offered the rest back. Unfortunately the tenant's reaction has been very hostile, and considered the deductions unreasonable. He has now employed a solicitor who has issued a letter offering me a day out in the...

    Home Cinema Setup

    Hi, I bought a pretty fancy home cinema system, and have had a go at setting it up, but I reckon it could do with an experts touch. It might seem a bit sad, but I don't suppose anybody knows anyone who sets up home cinema systems including hiding cables etc?
