Thank you all for your kind replies. And to add to the misery, the company worked for has no money to pay out redundancy, so it has to go through the DSP channels for statutory, and nothing yet. @ Monbretia, I think what you said is what was indicated. In the DSP office, the officer saw that...

Asking on behalf of a relative. Has been working full time for 30 years, and was made redundant in November. During that full time employment also did some self employed work. Returned F11 each year for this. On application to DSP for JSB was refused on the basis of self employment. Can...

Thanks for your reply, I think you're right. If he includes the allowance and it is taxed, he will have a tax liability on that! I think I better think it out again!

I hope some kind person may be able to help with this query- I have searched Citizens. Information, the Solas website and Revenue.ie, but I m still lost. My nephew completed his apprenticeship in FAS in 2012. He received an allowance of approx €11,000 for that year. This was not taxed by...

No. B was fifteen when the second marriage occurred. There was no rancour or anything, but adoption just didnt happen. C considers B to be her child, she has no children of her own. I suppose C could still go down the adoption route, but B is now in her twenties. Don't know if adoption...

Just a puzzle. My cousin A. married again following the death of his wife. There was one child of the first marriage - B. So his second wife C is the step mother of B. If my cousin A dies before his wife C, will the step child still be a step child of C? The answer could have...

Thanks Marion, I also heard from a friend who is CS (this is why I posted the Q here), that there is no minimum notice period for retirements or resignations in the CS!! That surprised me, but what do I know!! So I just wondered about the February thing, and if there is any literature about...

Hi all, Just looking at Mr. Appleby's (ODCE) imminent retirement, which came as a shock to the Government :rolleyes: I heard somewhere on radio earlier today that all applications for this scheme should be in today. Does anyone know where this is stated in Government circulars etc...

Why not come back to Ireland for a holiday, around the budget like, and skip off again after hearing all our bad news? Have you a problem with coming back to Ireland for a day or two? Surely that is the best way to follow your own money. It's what I would do. Bulgaria is not New Zealand or the...

Hi everyone. Yeah, it's Sunday night, getting everything ready for tomorrow. Just went to unload the d/w. The door seems to be stuck and I cannot get it open! Ah hell, all the stuff is in there! I think the spring might be gone on the door. Too bloody tired to investigate further, but if I...

This is so confusing. Firstly, how do users know how much the bins weigh when collected? Is there any chance at all that the weight might be exaggerated? How do we know short of putting the flipping bin on a weighing scales before putting it out! It is a recipe for, well you know. Anyway, I...

Every two weeks for the black bin where I am. But of course smug 4th estater's household only has to put the black one out every SIX weeks. Fixed charge too, none of that pay by weight faff either. The amount of packaging on stuff nowadays, and the newspapers, and the plastic bottles, and the...

Janet, Why not just post the books down to her? I'm sure she can replace the rest of the stuff down under? And anyone who takes luggage for someone else needs their heads examined, no matter how well you know them. I wouldn't do it anyway. Security reasons of course.

The beneficiary is UK resident and domiciled -Yes? The deceased is Irish resident and domiciled - Yes? It is the domicile of the deceased person that dictates the exposure to UK Inheritance Tax, the domicile/residence of the beneficiary is not relevant for UK Inh Tax purposes...

For Inheritance Tax purposes a child includes a stepchild. I presume the same would apply to the Succession Act on intestacy rules, but am not sure about that. A will made when someone is not compos mentis is invalid AFAIK Re the State knowing about an estate with no relatives, often a friend...

There is a dropdown menu listing many different types of property. Property includes cash. You select the type of property that relates to your benefit. In your case I would say that the property type "other personalty" would apply. Have a look at the "form help" on that page, and it will...

What if the child was adopted within the poster's recent marriage? She said she had recently remarried, and I suppose it is possible. Would that extinguish the child's right to inherit everything from his biological father on intestacy? I realise that for CAT purposes a child can get the Group...

Many thanks for that tip Brigid! Could I ask what law is changing? Is it adverse possession (squatters)? I think I heard something about that, but I may be wrong. Thanks.

Well I always thought that 2 storey extensions required planning permission no matter the size. Am I wrong about that? So a two story provided the floor area does not exceed 40sqm is exempt? Can anyone tell me what the 40 sqm refers to? Is it the footprint? Thanks

Thanks onq, for taking the time to reply. Appreciated. I will think about it again! It is not vital, I was just curious.
