Thanks for the links jpd. My Australian dividends are in the class of dividend called a fully franked distribution and not subject to any withholding tax in Oz. Can I just double check if your earlier response still applies to the franked dividends? thanks again

My dividends come with a 30% franking credit. If I can only claim 15% through the Irish tax system, then I must claim back the other 15% from Australia. However I just checked the Australian Tax Office website and they don't allow refunds of franking credits to non-residents: Franked dividends...

I'm an Irish tax payer with Australian shares that pay dividends twice a year. The dividend statement shows a gross amount which includes an imputed tax amount (also called a franking credit) and a net amount which is what I actually receive into my bank account.

I found the hotel prices in Edinburgh city centre to be very expensive so I recommend the Novotel Edinburgh Park, it's a few miles out from the city centre but there is a very good train service beside the hotel that takes you into the city. I stayed in this hotel last month and paid £62.90 per...

I am trying to follow Heinbloed's guidance above . My question is: Should all the reducers be fully open when starting off this process, or should I open the reducer for the longest loop first with the other loops closed and opening them one by one?

I have a right of way on the title deeds to another property, which is not marked on the land registry map. Is it sufficient to have the right of way on the title deeds only?

Hi all - I need someone to look at my underfloor heating system to iron out a few issues, e.g. balance system etc. I've already had 2 plumbers try to resolve the problems without success. At this stage, I think I may need a specialist in underfloor heating systems. Would someone recommend a...

Hi all, thanks for the replies so far. To answer some of the questions raised, our boiler is a Firebird Popular 120 model, thermostats are installed in each room and the house which was built in 2006 is well insulated. Our oil bill for 2010 was €1500 approx. I was hoping to benefit from lower...

Hi all, I have my oil heating set to come on for 2.5 hours every evening to heat 6 rooms. In order to reduce oil usage, I turned off a couple of rads in 2 of the rooms that are rarely occupied. My O/H says turning off rads makes no difference and that to reduce oil usage, I need to cut back on...

Thanks Guys for the tips - thinking of going for the Bosch

Hi all - does anyone know of a device that would detect the exact position and length of an existing RSJ? A friend has suggested that my only option is to break a couple of small holes in the ceiling. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
