Hi, I'm originally Irish and have living in Canada for the past 2 years. I'm a self-employed I.T. contractor here and my sole client is a company based in Ireland that I provide consultancy services to. Unfortunately I'm between work permits here in Canada at present and I have had to change my...

Thanks for confirming that.

I was just about to complete my Form 12 online to claim tax relief on some medical expenses paid in 2018 and I moved abroad in May of this year to Canada so I should be due a refund of income tax (I should be entitled to a full year of tax credits even though I moved abroad as per the Split Year...

Thanks very much Marc.

Hi, From what I can gather from past threads, you can contribute to a PRSA when you have no taxable income in Ireland and defer the tax relief until you do have taxable income and use it then. Is there a time limit to how long it can be deferred? Let's say I have no taxable income in Ireland...

Thanks for the replies and links. I guess the below excerpt answers my question: "Similarly, an individual whose services are provided via an intermediary and who incurs expenses in living away from home cannot claim the cost of living away from home." "The fact that an intermediary may...

Hi, I've been offered a short-term position by an Irish company. So the arrangement would be that I would set-up a limited company that I would be the sole director of and pay myself a salary from the company. The position itself involved carrying out work in Canada. The duration is a minimum...

That's kind of what I was thinking alright, thanks a lot Joe.

Hi, Quick question on the annual CGT exemption of €1270 and carrying forward capital losses. Say I sell shares and crystallise a loss of €1500, so together with the CGT exemption I can now make a gain of €2770 tax free that year if I have other shares that are in positive growth territory and...

That's a fair point, I / we do not know who is doing the credit checks for borrowers. The only indication of risk that is know is the platform's own credit rating system and given we do not know the logic and process behind this, it is of little true indication of risk. 5% can be achieved...

I managed to speak to 2 other tenants in the same block as me (and overheard a conversation in the courtyard) over the weekend and their satellite signal is also completely gone so it looks like it is not an isolated incident effecting my apartment. Both of them are Sky subscribers, and one of...

Thanks for the reply Rob. That's interesting to hear, how would you rate your appetite to risk?

I guess whatever the problem is it will require access to the internal cable ducts and communal dish which I don't have. I guess withholding rent until the problem resolved could be an option but it would probably be a last resort. Before I do this I want to be sure that they are indeed...

I'm not sure where my contract is, I'll need to take a proper look for it. I have a feeling that I never received my own copy, the last time I renewed I was sent 3 copies to sign and I had to return the 3 of them. But the management company copied this paragraph into an email: "We are not...

So if Sky have installed it I guess the management company will say that Sky are responsible, but if the management company have installed it themselves they should be responsible. I have no way of knowing really and the management company are saying that they will not fix the issue. Should I...

To be honest I haven't checked with any of the neighbours yet but I plan to do over the weekend. Both the letting agent and management company told me that they have not received any such complaints from other occupants regarding the issue so it sounds like an isolated issue. So if you're...

The title says it all really. I'd be interested to here how may people have taken the plunge with P2P lending and what percentage of your portfolio (if any) it represents? Are you planning on increasing, maintaining or decreasing this percentage this year? I have 25% of my portfolio in P2P...

A few weeks ago the signal on our satellite receiver started to drop from time to time. Then about a week ago it dropped completely, there has been no signal on any satellite channel since. I have a spare receiver that I have checked as well and there is no signal on that either. I have also...

Caught! I got the following text message last week: "Hi Daniel, thank you for saving with KBC. The KBC Extra Regular Saver account allows you to lodge a once off lump sum of up to €10,000 and a maximum of €1,000 into your account monthly. Recent funds lodged to this account are outside of the...

Hi, I'm not sure if it would be against forum rules to mention the share in question so I'll leave it out for now. I've been sent a tender offer for the shares of X company that I hold as they are merging with company Y, so I can either (some quotes from the actual offer are included): (a) Do...
