thanks Mandelbrot for you reply. My only concern is that the computerised till system was implemented during the period under audit review, and during its initial weeks of operation there were operating errors from staff due to unfamiliarity with the system, such as entering incorrect receipt...

I am a director (sleeping/non-executive) in a small company which has been selected for a revenue audit. We have a computerised accounts package and I have heard that revenue have software (IDEA) that can interrogate the accounts and search for anomalies. It would be comforting to know what...

I filled out a silverpoint promotional holiday form at check in queue on my return home from holiday in tenerife in early January. I received a phone call from Silverpoint promotion holidays during the week offering me and my partner a weeks holiday at one of their resorts in los Cristianos in...

rent a room relief income Would income earned under rent a room relief be considered unearned income subject to PRSI?

I read in the paper recently that someone who has not yet paid NPPR on a second home would now owe around €2.5K. It is only going to get bigger. I invested savings into the restoration of the house, so I am trying to protect that, plus I don't want to see him going bankrupt.

My brother owns a 2nd property which he cannot afford to pay the mortgage for. I have been helping with the payments and am continuing to do so. I have found out that he has not paid the NPPR for any year. I was wondering if I was to register for 2012, is there any way the council would know...

Thanks for that. I did some investigating today and I think the confusion is that the turbo is quoted in the garret spec as being for a 2006 e46. This must refer to the coupe which is probably around 220bhp. It doesn't explain if I can use a 204bhp turbo instead.

The turbo has blown on my 2004 330d. It is the 204bhp model. The mechanic was trying to get it reconditioned. When he gave the part number to a specialist, he was told that it is a turbo for a 220bhp engine. I wasn't aware that the car may have been modified. This turbo is more expensive than...

Have tracker mortgage moving out and living back home I am moving out of my house. I had been renting rooms in the house while I lived there, but have decided to move out and rent the whole house. A family are interested in moving in but want to change the esb billing name to their own. I am...

I am hoping someone can advise on a problem my partner is having with her BMW, and the poor customer service she is receiving from BMW. SHe purchased it in March 2007 and in January 2008 it stalled in the middle of Drumcondra. An engine warning light came on, which according to the manual is an...

I was involved in a car accident on 28/04/2008. It is only now that the insurance company of the other party has accepted liability. They have offered a valuation for the car of €6,500. I think it is low. They are basing their valuation on what they estimate the value of the car to be at the...

thank you

I had invested €3K in a rabo Irish Equity fund in 2007and last month I cut my losses and transferred the €1.2K I had left to a US equity fund. I have since read that the loss I made of €1.8K is ignored when calculating the tax i would have to pay on any gains on the US equity fund. This seems...

thanks for info. it is only my second year, and it renewed automatically. I think i will install the alarm to be on the safe side. a specialist cleaner is coming to inspect the damage this afternoon, and i will contact the insurance company when i know more. I suppose the question is should i...

I live in a semi-d and the oil tank next door sprung a leak (the pipe from the tank to the boiler to be exact). The tank is about 4 feet from the house.It probably happened about three months ago when i first noticed the smell, but it seemed to go away and come back, plus I was away from the...

Unfortunately my Mum invested €50K in Aug-07 (on my advise)in the same funds Uk Select/Irish Property (60%/40%). Her loss is around €20K, I suggested she move the UK select part of the fund to cash, as there was no 6 month wait on this fund at the time (before Christmas.) It has lost €10K. Will...

thanks for the very informative feedback . I will ask about prices for the tyres you listed mathepac. I was quoted over €800 for the bridgestones. A vibrating of the steering was exactly what i was getting on braking, was very unnerving, never knew which hedge i might end up in. luckily enough...

I bought a 04 330d about 6 months ago. I quickly noticed that the car was pulling to the left, and that the steering was twitchy on bumpy surfaces. I brought it back to the dealer, who sent it to a prominent franchised bmw dealer in Northern ireland. They realigned the wheels, but said...

thanks Liam my reading of it, is that she would be eligible for refund of DIRT as spouse is 65 or over, even though she is sole account holder?

My Mum has deposit income through a deposit account in her own name, on which she is paying Dirt. My Dad turned 65 in July. Can my Mum claim exemption from Dirt as her spouse is 65 or over? Their joint income is below €40K. My Mum went to the bank to ask them, but they said that it would apply...
