Sorry about that. I should have read the Posting Guidlines in more detail.

At this stage I don't know if I would have to sign a one year contract if I paid them the €158.90. I have no idea what the terms and conditions in the original contract say as it would have been between the tenant and the provider. The ESB are unable to do anything as a pre paid meter was...

Advise Please. I posted this in Ask About Law on Friday but so far I have not had any replies. Perhaps I should have posted in this forum initially. Before my tenants moved out two months ago, I asked them to have the electricity pre- pay meter disconnected and removed so that I could...

Thanks Cashier, You have given me a little more hope now. You don't happen to remember what details you had to give them for you to be told that no tax was due? Was it because it was taken out so long ago?

Tax on Life Assurance Policy I have an Endowment Life Assurance policy which I took out whilst working in England 25 years ago. It matures later on this year. I have asked several brokers if they know if tax is due when it matures but unfortunately no-one seems to know. I phoned the tax office...

ONQ is correct in his explanation... there are three parties, in fact there are probably even more as the developer sold sites and the individuals who must have had water draining into their sites from the fields above them stopped the problem by building up the backs of their gardens to stop...

He can quite easily see it entering my property from his but he still claims that because it has always flowed from his property into mine, then it should continue to flow the same way. He probably thinks that because he did not cause the increase in volume, then why should he now have to be...

Thanks onq for your reply. I agree with you that the legal route would be an expensive way to resolve the issue. I have already engaged with my neighbour but this has not helped in any way. He is very clear that as the water has ran through my property for the past 100 years then I do not have a...

As my property is at a lower elevation from property above me. The drainage water has naturally drained into my property for years. About 7 years ago the amount of water increased due to a housing estate being built beside me. This meant the natural drainage of land was altered as the water...

I had always thought that paying into a pension was a good way to reduce a tax bill. I own a rental property and if I have a net profit of approx €6,000 and I have to pay tax at 41% plus PRSI, USC, etc. surely it makes sense to pay €6,000 into a pension fund and not have to pay the tax? I agree...

I am also considering moving my savings from Northern Rock as the main reason why I opened the account was because of the AAA rating and UK government guarantee. As I have a mortgage with the AIB, I was thinking of moving all of the money into the AIB based on the idea that if my savings were at...

Quarterly fees for a normal current account in Deutsche Bank are €13.47. As well as trasfering money on line, you can also go into your bank and fill out an International Payment Application Form, "Paylink Euro." The AIB charge is 75 cent to transfer up to €50,000. Very good value! It takes 3...

I agree with you Godfather, it is a lovely sunny morning, perfect for a walk. The only advice I would like to give is if you decide to open up a bank account abroad, it makes sense to open one in a city tourist area. This way you are more likely to be able to speak with someone who also speaks...

If you you have a mortgage with the AIB and various savings accounts also with them, surely the risk is not so bad? This may be a silly question, but if the bank do not have sufficient funding to honour savings accounts, could the amount of debt not be reduced by this amount should things turn...

Thanks for that Baz but do you know if pensioners are expected to complete annual tax returns if they receive anything more than the normal state pension? Would I be right in saying that the some of the money that they receive in one hand from the government as a pension may have to be given...

2003 Tax Liability I have a similar case as of today. I recently applied for a Tax Clearance Cert for my father as we are applying for a grant to carry out essential renovations after he recently suffered a stroke. Today a letter arrived saying that he owed tax for the period of 2003 and until...

Thanks for the info. I have realised that the tax was low in Germany as I was allowed to write off a fair amount due to annual depreciation. Unfortunately, this is not allowable in Ireland and so I ended up have to pay a fair amount of tax over here.

Allowable Expenses - Berlin Property I am sorting out my rental income tax for 2009 on a property that I bought in December 2007. I have just noticed that my German Tax Return for 2008 did not show any of the incurred costs for purchasing the property in 2007, even though the accountant in...

One of my cars is a 1998 Primera. I have it since new and apart from servicing it every 12,000 miles, I have only spent 200 Euro on it. The front shocks were making a knocking sound and so I had to replace a part that is between the shock and the front wheel. I now have 130,000 miles and it...
