Thanks for the tip Purple - may I ask why the insurance company would need to know - would it be for cover in the event of it being stolen?

Thanks - have found some on the ebay.co.uk site now so will see if they will ship to Ireland.

Anyone know if it is possible to buy a cigarette machine for use in a pub? We are looking to buy rather than lease the machine but I'm not having much luck on Google etc. Any ideas or recommendations would be welcome.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to transfer money and / or property to a child's trust fund in a tax efficient manner? Or is it a case that anything transferred through a trust fund will be subject to the max gift / inheritance tax thresholds from a parent to child anyway so this won't...

We have recently won a small contract approx 6 months work in the UK. We can either send our employees over to do the work or employ locally. I'm not familiar with UK PAYE, is it possible for us to employ UK nationals on the Irish payroll or would we have to set up as a UK employer? Are...

Hi All, I have read through the best buys section but they all seem to be related to personal deposits. Are there any good interest rates for business deposit accounts? The deposit amount would be approximately €1.5m but would require probably 1-month access. The company is willing to...

Thanks for that info guys. We're aware alright that he wouldn't get paid for the first 3 days. The claim was just in within the week as he initially only had a cert for stress for 1 week so we didn't intend claiming, but it turned out to be a lot more serious.

Thanks for that vandriver. Would the influx of JB claims have any impact on the processing of IB claims I wonder? Anyone applied more recently?

My DH was unexpectedly taken into hospital on Wednesday and will more than likely be out of work for at least a month, possibly a bit longer. I have sent in the first illness benefit form, but just wondering if anyone has any idea how long it will be before he receives his first payment? We...

Can anyone tell me if a person is entitled to be paid sick pay, while living outside the state? An employee has been on sick pay for approximately 10 months now and for at least the last nine months has been living in Poland but uses a friend's (who also works for us) Irish address for all...

Hi, As above, can someone tell me what the stamp duty rate is for a FTB on a second hand house over 125sq m? Thanks, Ginger

Thanks for replies. He went to see the specialist (an ocularist?)last month and the specialist told him that he should have it replaced every 2-5 years, as the shape of the socket changes over time. He's had his current eye for around 10 years, so it should not be a problem to get a letter to...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to claim tax relief on a prosthetic eye? My OH has a glass eye and it needs to be replaced. If it's possible to claim tax back, it would make more sense to get it this year rather than next year. Thanks, Ginger

Just an update: Received the parcel this morning to work, with the normal post. No customs charge (package had been opened) - so that's a result. I didn't even get charged the €5 postie fee! :-)

I sometimes buy chicken from M&S and find it tastes much better and totally different to other supermarkets and even most butchers.

I saw on that the site alright but as it states "We will endeavour to assist and cover in cases where duty is charged to the customers in some European countries, but we emphasize this is ONLY on a goodwill, and not on an obligation basis", I wasn't quite sure if they would be willing to refund...

The last time I got a customs charge (for DVD's on Play - didn't realise they shipped from Jersey and the value was above €22) I got a letter in the post too, and didn't collect them, just had them returned & received credit on them from Play. This time the postman called with the parcel and...

Hi All, Hopefully someone can help me with the following: I ordered shampoo from strawberrynet.com last week. There was no extra charge for shipping and the total cost was €21.50 I was under the impression that goods under €22 were not subject to customs charge. Postman just called to...

We recently refurbished and for noise reasons put the water tank off the kitchen and away from the bedrooms. We had to put in a pump to facilitate this, but the pressure of water is now excellent and we don't have the problem of waking someone everytime a tap is run or a shower taken.

Year 1 - approx €1400 Year 2 - approx €2200 Year 3 - net loss of approx €225 (problem tenant) Year 4 - approx €2400 but awaiting copy of statement of interest. These figures include guess for wear & tear @ €500 per year. I have yet to get full itinerary of contents but it was a fully furnished...
