    Criminal Justice Act 2021 question re loan payoff

    Thanks both. I find the overreach hard to take. It seems the approach is, everyone's a criminal. Now, prove you are not.

    Criminal Justice Act 2021 question re loan payoff

    Buying a portion of parents home to relieve Seniors Money debt?

    Brendan - thanks so much for all your responses. Documented/witnessed loan seems like a simple route to take so will discuss this with the family.

    Buying a portion of parents home to relieve Seniors Money debt?

    Yes - Joe Duffy - thx. House 500k. 0 Mortgage. Loan 150k. Yes there are siblings. The whole family is ok with the general plan. Just trying to figure out best way to execute on it. I would buy 30% of value now and at some future point I get 30% of future value and 70% is split among siblings...

    Buying a portion of parents home to relieve Seniors Money debt?

    My mother was listening to the Joe Duffy show and is all in a tizzy. Folks took out one of these loans ~15 years ago. We had been planning to do something about it. I advised her not to get caught up in the JD stuff. The family went in eyes wide open at the time and knew that piper would...

    CGT query - selling Irish home after living abroad for 2 years

    Thanks j26 - do you know if I can also claim 1270 relief on this CGT liability - even if not living in Ireland.... I'm assuming because I have a tax liability that I can also avail of reliefs.

    How difficult is it to fit Cruise Control retrospectively?

    Good to know - it's been a while since I've been home and I couldn't think of a road where it would have been useful. It's great on the interstates here - I turn it on - point the car in the right direction and have a wee snooze.

    How difficult is it to fit Cruise Control retrospectively?

    It's possible - in some cases it may be prohibitively expensive. Take a look at this: [broken link removed] Just curious - is this for driving in Ireland? Is there a road in Ireland where cruise control would be of use - maybe only as a speed limit compliance aid?

    Income while on maternity leave

    I think as long as she's not working she's ok. The income should not matter. Take for example a case where someone self-employed has to take someone on to run a business while they are on maternity leave. The busines is earning money, the self-empoyed business owner is not working but they...

    Ikea Belfast

    I've done Glasgow, Edinburgh and Warrington and used various options - brought stuff home myself, arranged delivery in-store and ordered online. Online ordering is great for big-ticket stuff (I'm assuming you'll have paid a visit to the store to give items a once-over - a bit mad not to). I...

    What to do with unused Wear and Tear?

    Bought and sold a place in three years so I've claimed 3 of my 8 12.5% if you know what I mean. Can I do anything with the remaining 62.5%? Don't have any other rental property. I'm seeing some threads which suggest I can deduct from my CGT but this does not seem correct based on my own...

    Sydney for 2 weeks, too far to go?

    I went to Sydney for two days once - from Dublin. My missus was working on the flight though so that was the main reason. It was still a great trip and I got to see plenty. 2 weeks is loads of time. Life is short. I've gone through Tokyo both times I went to Australia. It's a great trip...

    ROS access

    It's taking ages to load ROS and when I try to login it sits there for 5-10 minutes before i kill it? No other problems with any other web access. Is it just a bad time of year to be hitting the site? Surely it's setup to handle the traffic. Anyone else experiencing problems?

    wear and tear allowance following sale of property?

    Did a search and can't find the anwer to my question. IT70 doesn't have it either. I've sold an investment property after 3 years. (had a go, made a few quid, not the game for me in the long term!) I'm working on my tax return for '06. What happens to my wear and tear allowance? The apt...

    Open University

    The OU is very well regarded academically and always scores well in the Sunday Times annual UK Uni review. I completed a BSc after 5 years in December. It's as hard or as easy as you make it for yourself. I will always highly recommend it to anyone interested in distance learning. I could...
