Hi, I was only tax resident in Ireland for 2 months last year but continued to earn money from Ireland throughout the tax year. I paid PAYE and PRSI and USC on all earnings from Ireland in 2011, even those paid to me whilst I was living oversees. Can anyone tell me what forms I need to...

I have an a/c with Barclays France, which I understand is covered under the UKFS guarantee scheme. I am considering opening a UK a/c with Barclays also. Does anyone know if Barclays UK considered the same institution interms of limits for deposit guarantee?

If 1 - you wanted to hold deposits in Euro outside of Ireland, and 2 - your primary concern was holding the strongest possible currency in the event of a Euro breakup and not deposit interest, How would you rank the likely top 10 strongest currencies in Europe following a breakup of the Euro?

I have a few Euro in an Azur a/c in Keytrade in Belgium. Does anyone know how to go about moving some of that back to Ireland etc? thanks

pstb have Stg£, CAD$, USD$, AUD$ deposit accounts also.

We won't get all the IMF money at once. It is conditional and reviewed every quarter. If we don't deliver on the austerity measures agreed for each target we may not get the next installment of IMF cash.

They haven't got back to me yet, b The 5% for 3 months appears to be a hook. It is only 1.8% thereafter and it is aimed at individuals with over $50k to deposit so not for everyone.

I am thinking about opening a Stg£ or $ deposit a/c with ptsb to cover the risk of Irl leaving the Euro. Is there any way that the Irl Gov could force the banks to either convert my foreign currency a/c to Euro and then to Punt Nua or directly to Punt Nua if we left the Euro? Am I fooling...

anyone? I'm interested in depositing in France and also possibly in Germany but want to avoid banks with an exposure to a possible future default by Ireland

check out Transfermate.com or some other service and consider getting them to transfer to Stg at a better rate and then lodge the Stg funds by EFT to your Stg bank a/c. i looked into transfermate a bit( not a lot) and they seem to be very reasonable on rate margins, for large sums of money.

Just wondering, before I deposit cash in Germany or France, which of their bank are the ones that lent so much to the Irish banks? If/when Ireland does default on senior debt, which German and French banks are going to have the billions in losses and possibly themselves require "assiatance"?

I sent off application form to open a Keytrade a/c but have not yet heard back and so I have yet to deposit any money. However I am reconsidering putting any money there as I agree with goodgirl's assertion that if the Euro goes wallop there could be a return to each soverign nation's old...

I wanted to open an non res a/c with Barclays France but I am in the dark about the financial stability of Barclays Plc. I Just read on Bloomberg.com that Barclays was one of the biggest borrowers from the US Fed back in 2008 the week that it acquired the U.S. operation of Lehman Brothers...

Outside the box.........Art, comics, wine... However limited prospect of selling it on if everyone else is broke!

look into something like transfermate.com

check out transfermate.com if you want a good rate on FX. They have an office on Dame Street. I haven't used them yet but was planning to at some point as they seem to offer a very competitive rate and allow you to prebook a rate for a period of days once you lodge a min amout of the funds in a...

good point.

As I read the recent posts and all the contributions, many of which I contributed to, there is a real sence of panic on this forum. Once I leave and get on with life it calms down but once I come back to this forum it's panic stations again. It begs the question, are we actually helping or...

That has worried me Delboy. I was about to put some cash in keytrade and now I'm not so sure. I started a thread to see if we could have a Country League Table, to show us all which countries are at the top in terms of risk of default or Bailout maybe we could try and get this going...
