    Non-resident landlord in 2012 - do I have to submit a tax return this year?

    Thanks Viztopia! At least I'll have the money put aside for next year and have put a reminder in my diary so that I can get it done earlier and online. Thanks again.

    Non-resident landlord in 2012 - do I have to submit a tax return this year?

    Hi - I'm a non-resident landlord since January this year. Do I have to submit a Form 11 (was working in UK all of last year, so no earnings in Ireland, but paying my mortgage)? My letting agent is hanging on the withholding tax for me each month but I can't seem to work out from the Revenue...

    Aer Lingus online booking passport details

    Shouldn't have thought so. Have you tried starting the process again? Could just be a misleading error message.

    What do people think about open plan living?

    I go back and forth on this, as I live in London during the week and back in Dublin at weekends. My flat in London is open-plan, and when I moved in I thought 'yes, this is great, love it', but when I'm back in Dublin I love the feeling of moving between rooms that you just don't get with open...

    Wanted: Recommendation for supplier(s) for range of home improvements

    Hi, I have a problem with rising damp in my house, and have sourced someone to work on that (thanks to previous recommendations from this site). As part of this work I need to move everything out of my house, so want to get the other work done at the same time, but would appreciate some...

    Who can correctly diagnose damp problem?

    Hi - I bought an old cottage in Dublin 8 two years ago and the paint is peeling off the walls on the interior and around windows. Has been unofficially diagnosed (on the basis of some drilling) as rising damp, including decay to the timbers in the interior walls - however, the person who did...

    Disappointed with BOSI's lack of contact with customers

    And given that the staff only found out what was happening an hour before the media did, who do you think was going to write the letters/make the contacts?

    Taxi Drivers....lack of knowledge!!

    Are there any regulations on the question of providing change for a €50 note? I get a taxi to and from the airport every week, and have had a number of drivers give out to me about having to change a €50 (on a fare of about €25), and one particularly unpleasant driver from the airport who waited...

    Apartment to rent Berlin

    I was going to mention White Trash! Love that place. Also forgot to mention Bellini Lounge and Ambulance on Oranienburger Str for great cocktails too. Will have to try to get to see the bunkers next time round - thanks, Undo. Would second the recommendation for Potsdam - haven't been to...

    Apartment to rent Berlin

    Depends what you like, really - I could go on for hours! The bus tour isn't a bad way to get an idea of how the city is laid out, especially going across East and West. Apart from all the museums on Museum Island (love them all, but you may have to book ahead for the Neues Museum) I would...

    Apartment to rent Berlin

    I've rented a holiday apartment through this site before: Granted, I was only looking for a 1 bed, but friends of mine who were over for the same weekend rented a 3 bed through the same site. As to location, Mitte is a good base for museums, restaurants, Checkpoint Charlie etc and the Berlin...

    Weather Disrupts Bus Services

    Indeed. I was just talking to a colleague in Amsterdam, where they're experiencing the same problems for similar reasons. On the point around the buses, aren't Dublin buses rear-wheel drive? That's got to make it more difficult to drive and control them in snow/ice.

    Does anyone know if the Spotlight programme from last night is due to be repeated? Can't find it on the BBC iPlayer.

    Bad taste radio joke

    That's awful - poor girl. What station was it? FM104 aren't RTE. Would you consider making a complaint?

    working abroad

    200 days - don't you have to be in Ireland for at least 183 days to be tax resident? Would definitely speak to HR. I wouldn't bank on this. I'm about to start an overseas contract and while my tax is equalised, there is no cost of living allowance, as Ireland and my destination countryare...

    Yep, should be fine with that. Have a good flight.

    Is dublin airport busy early sat morning?

    Like all queues, the one I'm not in moves the fastest :D Either that or my uncaffeinated state at that hour of the morning is affecting my perception of time. See you in the queue!

    Is dublin airport busy early sat morning?

    Undo, I'm referring specifically to the queue with the x-ray at the end. I've flown from Dublin airport at least once a week for the past 6 months (yes, I know, my carbon footprint doesn't bear thinking about), with most flights between 6 and 7 a.m. On rare occasions the security queue has been...
