The Personal Affairs Checklist (PAC) is a document produced by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland to help you keep a concise record of your personal affairs and papers. Investing a little time now to complete the PAC could save your spouse, partner, relatives or friends a great deal of time and expense in the future.
To be fair here - my (actually!) elderly relatives come from a time when computers (if the company had them at all), were the size of a horse, and were only operated by specialized staff.just don't want to take on the small bit of effort.
A very valid point and I also think there can be an almost paranoia in dealing with Revenue as it scares them, they can be afraid that they will get "caught out" and also that they will lose whatever they are currently entitled to.Excellent document there @T McGibney. I can't fault it (and there's always a "but") - The main problem is to get elderly people to complete it. I know elderly people who have not claimed the allowance for free electricity or free tv licence just because it involves minimal computer work. And (worse again) I'm talking retired nurses and other retired professionals. I'm trying to get some retired people to register online for Revenue. Some are due refunds (overpayments, medical expenses etc) and they just don't want to take on the small bit of effort. Strangely, whenever I instruct elderly people on computer know-how and go through the process with them they are relieved like somebody getting a stay of execution on Death Row, I kid you not. Incidentally, some of these people are fearful of turning on their heating because of the rise in prices of electricity, gas etc. A price drop from the end of February is not much good to them.
