    Claiming for AVC lump sums

    Thanks to the contributors for this post. I am trying to claim tax relief on an AVC for last year for my husband. However he moved jobs in 2023 and when I try to back-date to 2022 it only lists old employer and the AVC made was not linked to old employer. Is there a way to achieve this (at this...

    Issues Revenue account login

    No advantage at all only a character flaw! I normally manage to achieve my deadlines but don't make it easy on myself. New years resolution maybe? 2019-2022 returns to be submitted soon...

    Issues Revenue account login

    Just an update that Revenue are unwilling to accept an email that I sent with details of 2018 health expenses when I was unable to access My Account. I gained access yesterday - the mobile number on file was incorrect therefore no text verification code was arriving, nor could I get email...

    Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. No issue with phone etc I believe as checked cu account login and received text message for that. As I cannot get past the phone number authentication to get email reset option I must have done something wrong with mobile number. I might have had to...

    Trying to login to my account on revenue to do 2018 tax returns (I know last minute...) and am unable to do so due to 2-factor authorisation.

    Is old passport valid while waiting for renewal

    If your old passport has not yet expired your existing one will be valid for 4 weeks after new one issues. Hope this helps https://www.dfa.ie/passports/documentary-requirements/anadult/renewal/ You do not need to send your current passport. If you renew an Irish passport, the previous one will...

    Lump sum purchase, promotion and tax relief

    I am a pre-2004 entrant and joined public sector at the age of 30 so will not have full service even if I stay until 65. I have taken approx 1 year unpaid leave since I started between additional maternity leave, shorter working year, parental leave etc. I have it in my head that it makes sense...

    Mortgage overpayment

    Not sure if similar but requested AIB to fix repayments at a set amount in the past and was only given an option to reduce term to correspond to the repayment I requested (not on a fixed rate). On querying this I was advised that previously repayments could be fixed but no longer done as if...

    Ryanair making it difficult for customers to get refunds

    FYI. Email received yesterday from Ryanair. I am happy enough that I can get refund at end of 12 months if unused credit. The 12 months limit was my greatest concern (I have <€200 in voucher). Sister however has €1600 tied-up with them so different circumstances and refund preferred. You have...

    VHI VHI cover for elderly couple

    Maybe not a helpful response but based on advice from Snowyb last year I managed to convince my parents to change from VHI to Laya simplicity and they saved over €2000. They resisted for years but now are delighted with the savings and are going to renew again. I thought I would never succeed...

    Public right of way

    Thanks everyone. Unfortunately it is not on LandDirect as it says to check Registry of Deeds. I was advised to get in touch with the valuation office to see if I can find some previous owners names and then can do a search with the registry. Thanks Bluecup for pointing out that exemption. Might...

    Public right of way

    If a County Council or group are planning to put a lock on what has always been a right of way is the onus on them to prove they can or onus on the public to prove they cannot? I am talking about a public slipway. Residents in the area were previously advised that it is commonage but cannot...

    AIB AIB's adverts said that the tracker rate was set at the beginning of the mortgage!

    Whilst it would be great if this was true this description of the Tracker rate was on a brochure for a discount on new tracker rate mortgages. In this case you would be taking out a Tracker Mortgage with a discount off this for the first year. I do not see how it would support the argument that...

    Good plan for an elderly person

    Just to let you know that on the advice of Snowyb I managed to convince my parents to switch from VHI (first time in their lives) and moved onto Laya Simplicity. It does seem to be a superior plan resulting in significant savings for them. As said by Music above - thanks so much for all your...

    Should my mortgage be included in AIB tracker review

    My first year fixed rate with AIB finished in May 2007. I only received one letter about 10 days before expiry outlining rate options to sign and return (included tracker options). Did you select another fixed rate? You say that they advised option would be available after next fixed term? You...
