    Property adjustment order

    It's complicated. You should really talk to a lawyer who specialises in the area. The first question would be whether Brussels II BIS applies or not. You should have a read of https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/family/couple/divorce-separation/index_en.htm Regardless of whether you get a...

    What is a typical employer's contribution to a pension scheme at present?

    To your original question of how much does the typical employer contribute to a pension scheme, I found a 2015 survey done by the IAPF which found the average to be 5.7%:- https://www.iapf.ie/News/PressReleases/default.aspx?id=6 The Irish Times reported that the IAPF 2018 survey found 86%...

    What is a typical employer's contribution to a pension scheme at present?

    That'd make sense alright. I would assume that employers will either match the 6% or wind down their existing scheme. Considering the increasing regulatory compliance costs and the economies of scale, it might well make sense for many smaller employers to wind down their schemes tbh. We are an...

    Will Public servants be able to join auto-enrolment scheme?

    I don't think so, the scheme is intended for employers who don't already have a pension scheme. I'm not sure what the connection with the full PRSI rate would be? The auto-enrolment system is unrelated to the PRSI scheme.

    n26, bunq, wise credit score questions

    If you mean when applying for a loan, you normally have to provide all current account statements, regardless of whether they are in an Irish financial institution or not. But to be clear:- there is no credit score system in Ireland and only loans are reported to the central credit register...

    Is PRSI payable on pensions?

    Generally no, as PRSI is not payable by those over the age of 66. Assuming the person is under the age of 66, PRSI is assessed on all reckonable earnings so, yes, the pension and ARF income is combined. Pension and ARF income would be liable to PRSI Class S, currently 4%. This page on gov.ie...

    Invoices to the UK

    You are talking about VAT invoices I assume? I'm not clear whether you'd then be charging Irish VAT on sales to UK customers or no VAT? Regardless, it's probably best for you to refer to the Revenue publication regarding this:- [broken link removed] The VAT will also depend on whether it is B2B...

    Why do PayPal transfers arrive the next working day at around 10:00AM?

    The standard SEPA bank transfer takes a while because transfers are processed in batches. Typically, these may be submitted by the payer's bank for clearing only a couple of times during each business day. Hence why transfers from Paypal to your bank end up taking overnight a lot of the time...

    Is there a current Policy Document on Pension Legislation?

    The recent Report of the Interdepartmental Pensions Reform and Taxation Group would probably be the closest thing to that, summarising as it does the current situation and the policy options being considered. If you search for “site:gov.ie...

    Medical expenses tax relief

    My guess would be that it’s meant to cover psychiatrists mainly. They’d be the only medical practitioners I can think of who also do counselling and psychotherapy on occasion.
