Thanks CiaranT and MrEarl for your input. Today, I logged onto the revenue.ie website and to the LPT section where I just filled in a form giving a multi choice option for payment - filled in for payment by bank debit (payment to be taken 21st March 2020). Job done and I had an email as LPT...

I have been in hospital since 3rd Jan and just got out on Friday late afternoon. I had intended to pay the LPT in full in cash at the local post office at the last minute. I have now missed the deadline so how do I pay it - just go to the PO and pay? Many thanks.

In my opinion, as an ex-landlord and as a tenant on many occasions over the years, I would recommend a written contract. Things often go wrong especially with friends and friends of friends. Just be aware that after the tenant has been residing continuously in the property for 6 months they...

The landlord wants the tenant out (ideally asap) as the tenant is causing problems. The tenant has obliged and is moving out before the end of the termination notice. If there has been no damage to the property then landlord should return 26/31 of the rent (i.e. approximately 3 week's rent)...

As cremeegg indicates, you may rent for any period you choose under six months - over the six months and you get into the difficulty of a tenant's Part 4 rights. However, you may have difficulty in getting tenants for such a short period as 3/4/5 months

Bronte, you have dug up a very old post from 2016! And I'm no expert either. I haven't followed the new laws introduced during the last couple of years - there have been so many changes and there's more to come, long term tenants' rights.

You are renting out rooms separately therefore the new rate for the said room is capped and use the calculator in Bronte's post. If you have tenants with separate eases then the rest of the house is jointly occupied by the tenants and you do not have the right to enter the house without the...

Thank you llgon and T McG for your input. I am moving house on Tuesday but won't be in my new property until probably July or maybe August. As I am packing everything away now, I shall have to wait until I unpack again and get myself on my feet. Again, many thanks to all contributors.

Thanks Liam and Paul. I suppose that if I got an accountant to sort this out, his/her charge should be tax deductible so it might not be so so bad. Again, thanks to you both and perhaps I can quote pensions/chapter 21 para 21.5. I sent Revenue the P45s from the two pension companies which...

Thanks LDF for your reply. This was a UK private pension that I had which I cashed in in its entirety (thank you UK for changing the law to allow this) - about £30,000. Tax was deducted in the UK which I am trying to claim back as I am an Irish resident for tax purposes. Yes, I did declare it...

I cashed in a personal pension in 2015 but in my tax returns for that year did not allow for the 25% tax free amount. I am now trying to get this back from Revenue.ie. They have stated the following in a reply: "As stated in our reply to you dated 12/04/18, we are not aware of any such "25%...

Personally, if I were the landlord, I would be advising the current tenant that they will be liable for the costs of a hotel for the tenants who are to move in, until they have vacated the property.

In my opinion, if your rent is stated in the lease agreement (and it must be as your agreement acts as a rent book which is compulsory) then you cannot change the rent during the lease agreement. IMHO, you would be best to use 1 year leases in case there are further changes in the rental laws...

I would think if consent is required than it could be added to the lease agreement - tenant signs lease and therefore gives consent. Alternatively, could you refuse a tenant on the basis that he won't give consent?

The statute law on notice periods overrides any lease agreement clause, therefore it should not be complicated. mf has given the statute law notice periods.

It was introduced, I believe , as a temporary measure. And you know that "temporary" means permanent until otherwise.

Many thanks, Brendan, I will pass on your info and let them sort themselves out. It's no easy to be a go-between especially when I am not completely familiar with either of their situations.

Hi Brendan They are each trying to organise themselves so that the survivor of the two pays as little tax as possible, obviously! Who likes paying tax!! As I understand it, they both have sufficient funds to purchase a property for €135k separately. However, he feels that she will out-live him...

Thanks for your inputs. It is a brother and sister (both basically computer illiterate hence I'm asking the question). He lives in Ireland, she in the UK. I told him that Irish tax laws on gifts to siblings are pretty hefty- my understanding it is something in the region of 33.5k, accumulative...

Hi, What are the tax implications of two siblings (both over 70) purchasing a property to be used by one - the other is a UK resident. When one sibling 'kicks the bucket' what are the tax implications for the survivor. Does the division of the share in the property have to be in accordance with...
