    Tax on savings interest in Germany

    I only know this because I went through this with DKB who were not set up to automatically stop taking Kapitalertragssteuer with a foreign address and required me to fill out paperwork. And as to declaring it with Revenue, yes, it's under "EU interest". Revenue will then tell you how much you...

    Accidentally exceeded permitted duty free alcohol limit

    You can always call customs on 01 738 3676 10.00 to 12.30 (Monday to Friday) and report yourself. In the meantime, take extra care when you get those "customs due" text messages with links to weird web sites to pay, one might actually be real!

    Should we pay more tax to have a better society?

    As a customer of Revenue I agree with you, since I got my PSC and can do everything online with a few mouse clicks (including uploading of receipts) and it even reminds me to ensure I claim my credits if I forget, the progress they made from paper to electronics is great. My annual tax return...

    Should we pay more tax to have a better society?

    In my opinion we don't need a full-time highly paid Dáil or even all the ministers etc. that we have (and the constitution sets a minimum which would be enough). This country is way too small, and the EU makes way too many decisions these days that are rubber stamped by the Dáil. The Dáil has...

The answer is not more taxes...

    Bunq and salary

    Most likely they are still using account / sort code in their system and then convert it when they make the actual payment into an IBAN. And either the Sort Code list they use is not up to date or they just don't know how to convert the IBAN back to account/sort code. You could try to convert...

    Collecting the data and reporting it out to lenders is one thing, but what stops them from than creating a scoring model that also takes the other data into consideration they have like my day to day spending (which they track as I use cards) combined with my accurate income (which they have...

    Pre-paid mastercards

    Yes in theory, if the card is a "Limited Network / Restricted Loop Card". Than despite it having a Mastercard logo the card usage is restricted or locked down to specified merchants, for example those in a specific shopping center. As to your Pavilions card, it's a perfect centre card...
