On the basis that the dividends are likely to be taxable at 41% plus levies etc, I would have thought that it's unlikely that the DWT/encashment tax plus any foreign tax would cover your liability?

You're not even comparing apples and pears...you're comparing apples and sunglasses. The comment you're referring to relates to Ryanair staff trying to trick passengers into believing that their hand luggage doesn't meet the relevant size rules. Thank you for educating us on how to secure a...

But if Aer Lingus had just applied their 25% offer to those €9.99 each way flights, that's what you would have saved...€5. I don't understand what you were hoping to achieve?

What were you hoping to save...€5?

Aren't those figures out of date?

+1 Crazy advice from spindizzy...almost 100% wrong and dangerously misleading in places.

Beware of any possible gift tax implications. You may end up giving your sister an interest free loan.

I'm shocked at your analysis to be honest. The qualifying disclosure and penalties regime is pretty fair in my view. Sympathy for the guy's family aside, he's behaved like a clown and scammed us all. He's had the free use of €90k while everyone else was paying their share.

It's €3,000 per parent. It's not necessary to inform Revenue. The €3,000 gifts are disregarded for aggregation purposes.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's "visual arts practice"? In order to get a Case I (i.e. trading) deduction for an expense, it must be wholly and exclusively incurred for the purposes of the trade. If the MA in visual arts practice is clearly going to benefit your photography business and is...

Yes - You can go back four years so you can claim the credit for 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

She's a director of the company. Best of luck to Revenue if they try and shoot that one down. In the circumstances of a one man band where the husband and wife are directors, there's a word for a couple that don't maximise their standard rate cut off points - Idiots.

People need to fight back when these clowns try and shaft them. If your bag fits into the cage, tell them in no uncertain terms where to go if they start claiming that there are other criteria. "You can't have straps making your bag smaller" - Who thinks these things up?

It shouldn't be an issue for the property owner. If it was me, I'd make sure that I had receipts and that the cost of the painting stacked up (i.e. arms length pricing was applied) but there's nothing prohibiting it.

I'm not a lawyer, but I've been present at meetings where lawyers from the biggest firms have asserted that prenuptual agreements are meaningless in Ireland.

Yes - It is deductible Yes - The arrangement you're proposing would be fine from your perspective. I'd make sure to have the receipts for the paint too just to copperfasten things. How your friend treats the income is his business.
