    UK State pension - Am I class 2 or Class 3

    On the online form was there somewhere to make that case? I just filled in all the details and submitted but I did not see anything about class/2/3. Wondering if I should follow up with a letter and some documentation.

    Criminal Justice Act 2021 question re loan payoff

    Thanks both. I find the overreach hard to take. It seems the approach is, everyone's a criminal. Now, prove you are not.

    Criminal Justice Act 2021 question re loan payoff

    Buying a portion of parents home to relieve Seniors Money debt?

    Brendan - thanks so much for all your responses. Documented/witnessed loan seems like a simple route to take so will discuss this with the family.

    Yes - Joe Duffy - thx. House 500k. 0 Mortgage. Loan 150k. Yes there are siblings. The whole family is ok with the general plan. Just trying to figure out best way to execute on it. I would buy 30% of value now and at some future point I get 30% of future value and 70% is split among siblings...

    Buying a portion of parents home to relieve Seniors Money debt?

    My mother was listening to the Joe Duffy show and is all in a tizzy. Folks took out one of these loans ~15 years ago. We had been planning to do something about it. I advised her not to get caught up in the JD stuff. The family went in eyes wide open at the time and knew that piper would...

    CGT query - selling Irish home after living abroad for 2 years

    Thanks j26 - do you know if I can also claim 1270 relief on this CGT liability - even if not living in Ireland.... I'm assuming because I have a tax liability that I can also avail of reliefs.

    How difficult is it to fit Cruise Control retrospectively?

    Good to know - it's been a while since I've been home and I couldn't think of a road where it would have been useful. It's great on the interstates here - I turn it on - point the car in the right direction and have a wee snooze.

    How difficult is it to fit Cruise Control retrospectively?

    It's possible - in some cases it may be prohibitively expensive. Take a look at this: [broken link removed] Just curious - is this for driving in Ireland? Is there a road in Ireland where cruise control would be of use - maybe only as a speed limit compliance aid?

    Income while on maternity leave

    I think as long as she's not working she's ok. The income should not matter. Take for example a case where someone self-employed has to take someone on to run a business while they are on maternity leave. The busines is earning money, the self-empoyed business owner is not working but they...

    Ikea Belfast

    I've done Glasgow, Edinburgh and Warrington and used various options - brought stuff home myself, arranged delivery in-store and ordered online. Online ordering is great for big-ticket stuff (I'm assuming you'll have paid a visit to the store to give items a once-over - a bit mad not to). I...

    What to do with unused Wear and Tear?

    Bought and sold a place in three years so I've claimed 3 of my 8 12.5% if you know what I mean. Can I do anything with the remaining 62.5%? Don't have any other rental property. I'm seeing some threads which suggest I can deduct from my CGT but this does not seem correct based on my own...

    Sydney for 2 weeks, too far to go?

    I went to Sydney for two days once - from Dublin. My missus was working on the flight though so that was the main reason. It was still a great trip and I got to see plenty. 2 weeks is loads of time. Life is short. I've gone through Tokyo both times I went to Australia. It's a great trip...

    ROS access

    It's taking ages to load ROS and when I try to login it sits there for 5-10 minutes before i kill it? No other problems with any other web access. Is it just a bad time of year to be hitting the site? Surely it's setup to handle the traffic. Anyone else experiencing problems?

    wear and tear allowance following sale of property?

    Did a search and can't find the anwer to my question. IT70 doesn't have it either. I've sold an investment property after 3 years. (had a go, made a few quid, not the game for me in the long term!) I'm working on my tax return for '06. What happens to my wear and tear allowance? The apt...
