Well I appreciate the tip but nowhere have I said that nor would I say that. The reality is that I do business travel, I claim mileage & subsistence in line with civil service mileage rates & in relation to genuine business trips. The fact that this is of financial benefit to me is irrelevant...

Hi all, I'm Self employed (company director). Reasonable salary and regular recurring travel and subsistence expenses paid monthly (also tax advantageous). Obviously both are at my discretion. I keep the salary reasonably low and retain funds in company. I am in process of mortgage...

Make a payment now of whatever you can - they are not going to say no. Start paying regularly then - what are they going to do? Ye could be discussing and negotiating for weeks / months so start now and then some of the work will be done. Better to start pay and be seen to be making an effort...

With tech business I am guessing EI involvement = compulsory audit I am in the same business and the fees seem similar. Whether or not it is good value depends on the size of the firm and the quality of service given. Have you queried the bill in the past?

as an accountant, I have had a lot of dealings with Revenue. things don't always move in there as fast as you would expect. Are you dealing with local office or Collector General's Office in Limerick. My advice would be to keep talking and negotiating. More importantly - keep paying...

I would recommend trying to fix it yourself as opposed to the agent / landlord doing it. You can find someone at reasonable cost and protect your deposit. landlord's mind won't be as focused !

Hi flatbroke there is a scheme called the short term enterprise allowance where you an start your own business while retaining your JB up to the date that you would be entitled to it should you remain unemployed. You can google it and get the relevant info I am not sure of the implications...

I had a situation with Revenue a few years ago where an accountancy firm made an error and forgot to file a return on behalf of, normally, compliant client. Surcharge in excess of €25k. It was the firm's fault and not the client's. The firm acted immediately by holding their hands up, accepting...

Hi All, I have plenty of copies of Articles of Association in pdf format via company searches etc but they cannot be converted to text. Would anyone have a reasonably standard Memo and Articles of Association in word / text format that they would be willing to send to me (and save me having...

Hi all happy to say that tonight's meeting was a success and we have found the right person for our dogs. Thanks to all for the help and thanks to aam for being the resource it is!! Dave

Thanks for all the help. In relation to your responses 1. House sitting & kennels are both options but are a distant second and third. Knowing our dogs and the environment they are used to, I just feel that a dog sitter or minder would suit them better. Re someone moving in - dunno if I...

Hi all, thanks for all the responses. It will have to be cork really but thanks all the same for the responses so far. Dave

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows of, or could recommend, somebody who would look after 2 Yorkshire Terrier pups. Myself and my girlfriend are going on holidays for 9 days in April. We do not want to put the dogs to kennels and would prefer someone who will take the dogs into their home...
