    Who will form the next government? - The results

    I think we can put the idea of any political party broadening the tax base in the current climate to bed. The list posted by Purple would be a great start, but its just not going to be implemented by any party as it would be wildly unpopular. How much scope do we have from the EU to reduce VAT...

    Emergency Evacuation Plan - Rented Apartment

    Hi All I was recently advised by my local County Council that my rental property was going to be subject to a standard inspection to ensure everything is in order with the property.

    Revenue Commissioners - Income tax implications for landlords for tracker redress

    This is extremely confusing. I contacted Revenue via ROS in relation to my redress on a buy to let. I was told to amend my returns for the impacted years by adjusting the interest deduction - resulting in large payments being made to revenue. This clarification seems to deal with "compensation"...

    Paying into a pension for 16 years. Think I need advice

    I think this is probably a quirk of switching pension providers. The €136k premiums paid was the total value of the contributions and asset growth over the previous 15 years that was then invested with the new provider - growth shown is just the one year performance of that amount

    1,778 landlords have left the market over the last three years

    I assume he meant the first €1,000 each month - so €12k per annum at 12.5% with the top rate on anything above that

    Forced landlord, not doing what I should be

    If you did not register the property with the RTB in 2013-2017 then you can't deduct the Mortgage Interest - or do I have that wrong?

    Cashflow may be nil - but there could still be profit. For Example Rent 1000 per month Mortgage 800 p/m (400 interest and 400 capital) Other Allowable Expenses 200 p/m So - zero cash flow, but rental profit of 400 p/m (Rent minus Interest and Other Allowable Expenses) Tax would be due on the...

    Pension v Mortgage

    I am sure more clued in members can opine on this, but I wouldn't have thought its as straight forward or black/white as you have alluded to. I would have thought, using a portion of the €100k inheritance to fund a maximum AVC for last year and this year (25% of your salary being €11,250) would...

    The Impact(s) of Changing Retail Banking Technology on the Irish Consumer

    Hi Ciaran Thanks for the feedback - I think that is definitely the future alright, and quite a few of the responses have mentioned these methods. I think, from our point of view, this will have to go down as a potential future study as the focus is more on traditional banking. Thanks to...

    Stock market correction or bear market/crash? Either way I bailed.

    What is this magical "high-growth" share that will grow for 30 years that we can invest in and forget about? I'm with Gordon - I do not think there is anyone out there that, whilst maintaining their own job and not being a full time trader, that can beat the 20% advantage that comes with...

    Stock market correction or bear market/crash? Either way I bailed.

    As you said, population aging, more people will be impacted by changing the pension rules, which means more voters. I doubt any political party will grasp this nettle

    Impacted Buy to Let - Redress Received - Tax Implications

    Hi I know this has been discussed on several threads, but its now becoming a reality. My mortgage, which is now a buy to let mortgage, was part of the tracker review. I have now received my redress and compensation (for information, my compensation was 8.5% because mine was a Buy to Let...

    Will tracker refund and compensation be taxable?

    Has there been any discussion on this at all? I'm in this boat, have had my tracker restored, just waiting on redress. If they just apply the over charged interest to the mortgage balance and I have to revise my tax returns for over claimed interest, I'll have to come up with the cash to pay revenue

    20k, lump sum off mortgage or get a car?

    Just on this - we are currently on a 3 year fixed rate with BOI and are overpaying 10% of the repayment - (around €130 a month) - they never mentioned anything about the €65 cap and were happy for us to overpay the full 10%
