Are there any good sites where you can buy and download mp3 music files? iTunes no longer exists and Amazon.co.uk mp3 files don’t appear to be for sale in Ireland. It’s not technically possible to buy them.

Thank you for the response, that’s really clear.

What tax is paid on income after age 65? If a retired couple earns for example 110k in total between them (60k in rental income and an annual private pension payment of 50k), what would the tax impact be? What tax credits are they entitled to?

Thank you, that really helps clarify.

So similar to previous tax returns in that case, as yea he did rent it out. Can he offset solicitor fees etc charged on the sale of the apartment ?

Hi all, my brother sold a property in 2021, he is currently preparing his tax return. He made a capital loss of 90k vs original purchase price on sale of the apartments. On the current tax return he is still calculating tax payable, I assume the loss on sale cannot offset any income tax payable...
