    Licence on rented house

    My son is a student in Dublin and is looking for accommodation for next year. One house they are looking at is suggesting a licence rather a lease. The landlord is using one of the rooms for storage but doesn't live there. They are hoping to rent the house for 3 years and the landlord has said...

    Joe - I'm sorry but I don't understand your last post. Would you mind explaining in more detail? Thanks.

    Penalty for late tax return

    Mandelbrot - I guess then we just have to hope that someone reasonable deals with it in revenue and takes pity on us. I feel that the newsletter could be interpreted to mean only directorship income is used in the calculation but I can also see how it might be interpreted differently. I know...

    Penalty for late tax return

    Joe - he is getting nothing out of this directorship. I don't want to go in to the details but he is certainly not in it for profit.

    Penalty for late tax return

    It is a trading company. My husband receives no income from the directorship (he's a director for altruistic reasons that I'd prefer not to go in to). He is a chargeable director but my reading of the newsletter I linked to previously (sorry - it won't let me pull an excerpt out) is that the...

    Penalty for late tax return

    The issue is not whether a return should have been made or not. It should have been submitted. There is no question about that. The question now is what income tax liability should be used to calculate the penalty. The legislation doesn't specify as far as I can see but the newsletter I referred...

    Penalty for late tax return

    Joe - I'm not talking about relief now. He is not exempt from filing a return. I know that. It is a question of what income the penalty should be calculated from. The newsletter stated that the penalty was calculated based on the income tax liability from the directorship income. I am hoping...

    Penalty for late tax return

    The company has been trading (and is fully compliant from a tax perspective) so my husband is a chargeable person. What I'm hoping for is that the penalty is based on income from the directorship rather than all income. We thought (obviously erroneously!) that as there was no income from the...

    Penalty for late tax return

    Non-proprietary directors aren't subject to the late filing charge so I'd be hopeful that the newsletter would apply to us. I know what I've googled previously doesn't clearly state what PAYE income the charge applies to but the newsletter states that non-proprietary directors aren't subject to...

    Penalty for late tax return

    Tommy - I googled your comment above and found a newsletter from 1999 from revenue at [broken link removed] It states that the penalty is based on your income from the directorship. So 10% of zero is zero! I'll print that out, highlight the relevant section and send it in to them. Thank you for...

    Penalty for late tax return

    My husband phoned and they are sticking to their guns on it. They said to apply in writing. Tommy - would really appreciate a reference at some stage when you get a chance.

    Penalty for late tax return

    Coolhandluke, Clarkey and Bronte - Thank you for your replies. We'll try phoning. I know you can sometimes be lucky with the person you get. It would be reasonable to penalise based on the income from the directorship all right.

    Penalty for late tax return

    We (husband and I) filed tax returns this year for the last 5 years. We expected to get a refund but were shocked to discover that we own them 8.5k! My husband is a proprietary director for a company from which he receives NO income and he has been fined for filing a late return. The fine seems...

    food dumped in garden

    Thanks horusd. Will try the council. No point in trying to talk to him - he doesn't talk to us, neighbours on other side of him or neighbours on other side of us (long story but he has a history of not caring about the impact of his actions on others - he has made a lot of enemies locally over...

    food dumped in garden

    don't think so I don't think a big pile of spuds, veg and chicken is feeding the birds! That was the last pile. It had disappeared within a day or so. It looks like the leftovers from dinner generally and is dumped near the boundary with my garden.

    food dumped in garden

    Hi. My neighbour is dumping waste food in his garden (presumably to avoid bin charges). This has resulted in rats. Is he breaking any law? If so, who is responsible for enforcing the law? Thanks

    Large family room in dublin

    Does any one know of a hotel in Dublin that has family rooms that will take a family of 5? Another option would be a small suite. Our least favorite option would be interconnecting rooms but we'd go for that if need be. Thanks.

    small 7 seater wanted

    Thanks. I'll have a look. I know about the lack of boot space but I wouldn't plan on having the back seats up all the time. I've only 3 kids so I only need them when I've extra kids in the car.
