You are allowed deduct buying, holding, and selling costs when calculating capital gains tax.
If I receive a capital payment as a result of shares held in a mutual society, and a condition of receiving that payment is that I maintain a minimum balance of funds with the mutual society, could...
Re: Half Acre Site: Our engineer did not measure it but thinks its one third of an acre.
When did you get your planning permission?
It has to do with what type of land you border, too--if you have no residential land bordering yours, a modern septic system, and mains water, it all may help...
Re: Half Acre Site: Our engineer did not measure it but thinks its one third of an acre.
Unless the OP is on mains sewerage (unikely) then there are planning conditions that determine the minimum distance that a septic tank needs to be from the house and the boundaries. To satisfy these...
If I leave my current job, and the associated PRSA scheme, and take a job with an employer offering a defined benefit scheme, do all the points raised here still apply? i.e. my only options with the PRSA is a buy-out bond, or wait until it matures?

On a 0.1-acre site, it's mains sewarage or nothing.
The auctioneer can indicate if there is a right of way established for the septic tank on the other land--not uncommon. But your solicitor will have to confirm.

Leaving the issue of the site aside, if you and your boyfriend get a joint mortgage for the construction that is in your name, he has gifted you half the value of that construction. As you are not married, the C.A.T. payable on such a gift by you would be more than the stamp duty you would save...
A much worse attitude is the "ah sure God bless the nice old ladies with their cute little dogs running around the inside of a moving car" attitude. Pure luck that this isn't a more serious discussion, at least it was just a parked car that was hit.
The taxi fare was just an example, of a...
What's that got to do with anything? Would it be more acceptable if the driver was a boy racer?
In fairness to dats_right, his misc. expenses suggestion might have been to cover any items in the car that were destroyed due to crash, taxi taken out to the car rental place, cost of getting car...
The bank's valuer (for which you'll pay approx. €130) is an auctioneer. The bank will have a preferred list of valuers, but I wonder if you are entitled to engage your own valuer--after all, it's your money. If you approach the auctioneer who is selling you the property, he may supply a cheaper...
To clarify: My point was not that fixing will save you money (it may or may not; who knows?), but that, as you feel you will be struggling to match your repayments once you come off the introductory rate, fixing will give you piece of mind for the length of the term.
For example, a friend of...
She is a salesperson, selling fixed rate mortgages. That her "advice" may be correct for your situation is beside the point--she would have said the same thing to anyone at any time.

If you intend on living in the apartment, and sharing it with tenants under the rent a room scheme, there may be no clawback.
Otherwise, if the apartment was new, then when calculating the clawback, you can discount 13.5% VAT, which may put you in a lower stamp duty bracket, and possibly...
If it's U.S. magazines you're after, are good. If it's only one magazine, you probably won't save anything, but if you have a few subscriptions, or buy any U.S. dvds or books, you'll save money.

Maybe in St. Petersburg, but not in Moscow.
If you have time for a look around, it's worth hiring an English-speaking guide privately. They don't cost much, can skip you to the front of queues, and are much more flexible than the tour groups--if you're sick of Faberge and want to know more...
All I could see was the bit about shopping around, but it doesn't make any recommendations. Does anyone know where could you shop around for this in Ireland? An insurance broker?
I've used both and I prefer the interface of NIB's online banking set-up, but there's no real difference.
I've found the branch staff to be better in PTSB, but that's only based on one branch of PTSB compared to one branch of NIB, and as you say, if you're online, hardly ever any reason to...
