Thanks all, I read the replies earlier but didn’t get a chance to respond. I went through two tolls, both unmanned. Got charged 3.40 at the first one for some reason and 1.90 at the second. Think the first was just a glitch I’ve had happen once or twice before and didn’t have time to go ringing...

Hi all, I’m struggling to find an answer to what the toll rates are for a car and trailer? I’m towing for many years but never had to go though a toll until a planned (essential) trip this weekend and it just came to mind that I don’t know what the additional cost (if any) for going through...

Are all checkpoints at the moment primarily public health checkpoints? I mean I've been waved though some like normal checkpoints were the Gardai appear to just be looking at the cars as they pass which would tell me they are checking tax etc?

In fairness I wouldn't see taking different routes to avoid potential checkpoints being the same as turning in the queue for one. The second part makes sense I guess but the first part is as I expected but something I could never understand? Why is it they can’t check a reg plate, and if there...

In normal times maybe but at the moment check points are everywhere so just trips to the shop etc a few times per week has a high chance of coming across one. To the other poster above, some maybe turning because of 5km rules but I personally doubt it and feel it’s likely no insurance, learner...

No., I'm not based in Dublin so that wasn't one I saw, good to hear though. I'm on the road very little over the last few months like everyone and I reckon I've seen 7 or 8 people turn from I think 6 different check points over the last while and no sign of the guards to follow, I was actually...

With all the checkpoints on the roads these days it's becoming obvious that a lot of people turn around to avoid checkpoints. Surprisingly I have yet to see any of these people followed? I see it mentioned on twitter occasionally that they catch a person who turned but from what I see they don't...

Admittedly I am not too well up on the ins and outs of crypto only what I read about it and I don't have any dealings in it myself but I had thought since its not regulated that exchanges would be under no obligation to give out any info nor would they had pps numbers etc on file anyway? (or...

I think a certain cohort who don't like keeping the rules would possibly see it as a way to keep their crypto gains off revenues radar also. Spending directly from the crypto exchange would mean no gains showing in bank accounts to be questioned for tax purposes.

Thanks for the advice I will start to talk with my account sooner rather than later to find out what the best approach is. Just one other question related to your first response. How are medical expenses etc handled by my wife in this new scenario? Would she still do her expenses through...

Yes I that what I was going to do but now that I’m thinking about it even before your reply I would have been completely incorrect as my other income would need to be considered. The other income is very small for now, in fact I wouldn't be surprised to get tax back from my paye tax from farm...

Thanks, that actually raises questions. I was just pulling together medical receipts and was planning to claim our medial expenses for 2020 in the next few weeks under the normal paye way. Does all this now have to wait and go in on my tax return later this year? I had it down as separate in my...

Sorry to hijack but my question is related to WFH tax reclaim. Firstly do bills have to be in your own name to make a claim? We live with my parents, some bills are my name, some my parents and some my wife can I put in a claim for oil bought by my parents, electricity in my wife’s name and BB...

We are jointly assessed and both paye however I have now taken over part of the family farm in my name in 2020 (part-time am still working full time in my paye job). So later this year I will be making a tax return for self-employer income, writing off expenses against my tax bill etc. My wife...

Does anyone know if Garda ANPR is used to automatically issue fines for driving with no tax or driving a car that is declared off the road? Or does it just flag the car and the gardai still have to follow and stop the person? Just wondering as I have seen quite a few cars with out of date tax...

Just revisiting this as I am a little confused by a few things around the home carers credit and how revenue have amended my tax credit cert as of today. I plan to contact them but I would like to get everything clear in my head first. The first thing to clear up before I go into more details...

Great, thanks. The way its worded it sounded like if you went with the home carers credit that you were stuck with it. It makes much more sense that you can change mid year. On informing payroll, I know they are supposed to get the details automatically but wasn't sure if they always check or...

Hi, I am trying to make sense of the best way to approach our tax situation for 2020. To give some brief background we are jointly assessed and I work full time currently earning 45k, my wife was on maternity leave last year and is now on jobseekers benefit (she was made redundant prior to...

Just to update, she was successful in getting the JB.

No issue at all on that side, redundancy was actually even supposed to happen a 6 months earlier but got pushed out further and the date was set long before she was pregnant.
