If man and wife have a joint acc, deposit or savings, on the death of one partner can the other partner just withdraw the money. The accounts are for one partner to sign for normal withdrawals. I mean does it require a grant of probate or other legal formality just to have access to the...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions etc. It does seem strange that if you have a dust bin in your name you are OK for AML. Are these regulations really preventing laundering.

Problems even worse for my wife as she has no tax, no bank, no utilities etc so not able to open an account.

Financial institutions seem to think it makes all the difference if it comes in the post.

Great. Some use for water bill. Hope I will not run a protest situation for using it.

I have had a lovely colour PDF bank statement refused by prominent financial institution, in the past month. The reason given was that I did not receive it in the post.

My wife and I have had some investments for many years. Some are equity linked or managed etc. Times have improved and we now want to sell some. We are told that we must have the necessary money laundering requirements. This is our problem. Bank account is on-line, telephone acc on line, dust...

I am over 55 years old. I understand if I sell assets I can avail of Relief up to €750,000. Does this relief only refer to sale of land of does it relate of sale of shares or any assets?

I found an old entry here about PMPA shares. Brendan pointed out that they are of no value but he mentioned Capital gains tax. I bought 1500 of these shares in 1979 /1980 and I understand they went flat about 1983. Can I still use the loss for CGT and if so has anyone any idea of the approximate...

I have had some UK shares for 10 years. Each year the dividend was reinvested in a few new shares. I got a slip saying x amount of UK tax withheld. I assumed that I was not liable for any further Irish tax. Is this correct?

Thank you. That is great.

We invested £1600 in Irish Life in 1991. It is now worth about €30. Main loss being about 2011. If we sell other profitable shares this year can the loss be included for Capital Gains Tax.

Thank you Joe. There is a lot of CGT documents and clearly I took the 30% from an older one. Just about the Revenue documents the Index Link or Multipliers as they call it goes up to 2004 (et seq). Is there no more recent one for disposal nearer 2015. Surely there was an increase during the...

I am selling Imperial Tobacco (UK) shares. I am looking at Revenue website for Capital Gains tax and see (a) Shares/Securities - Quoted (30%) (f) Offshore Funds (S. 747A) chargeable at 40% Is my shares 30% or 40% tax.

We (my wife and I) were given some shares about 1970. They are in a UK company (Imperial Tobacco) We sold recently for about €10 000. For the last 12 years we reinvested the dividend each year in shares(about 10 shares pa) . We have no idea how to calculate capital gains. We see some mention...

Thank you Brendan. I did try Equiniti but they will not deal with non UK residents.

My wife and I hold about £12 000 (sterling) of Imp Tobacco (UK) shares which we have held for approx. 40 years. We hold certificates for these. I have no idea how to sell or what tax to expect. Any basic advice would be very helpful. We do not want to deal again or to have to open an account if...

(I am asking on behalf of my daughter) Sole. I am 30 and about 2 years in permanent job. I do not intend to stay in same job much longer and may move to UK or USA. I saw old thread about buying a house but not for me. I know nothing about pensions. Where do I start? I hear so much in past few...

Thanks Stephen Thank you. I can check that.

I invested in a Capital Investment Bond in 1984 from Standard Life. I payed about £3000. It is now valued about €23 000. How is this taxed? Is it capital gains or some other system?
