    Calculating Tax Liability on Shares

    Thanks ClubMan, so there's the income tax element and then the CGT element in relation to both share types. That's a bit clearer so the CGT only relates to profit made on selling whereas the IT is on the discount received. Now I just need to work out the returns forms..:eek:

    Calculating Tax Liability on Shares

    Apologies if this has already been asked but I have researched RTSO calculations and my personal tax liabilities but am having trouble working out my liability. My query relates to the following; 1. RSU Shares - my understanding is the tax due on these is withheld by my company so how do I work...

    Is Phonewatch worth it?

    RE monitoring; IMO a thief will be in and out before any guards can respond unless they're literally on the road. The more deterrents you have the better, ie Cameras at doors, PIR external lighting, Timers for internal lighting, A DOG, etc. I installed a Visonic Powermax (wireless) about 15yrs...

    No car insurance quotes for named driver, how do I get quotes?

    Hi All, My wife has been a named driver for over 10 years and it is proving very difficult to get a quote online (for a 2nd car where she will be main driver) despite no accidents, claims, penalty points etc in the last 10yrs + beyond. Can anyone shed some light as to why this is? Mid-40's with...

    Key Post It may be much cheaper than you think to break out of a fixed rate early...

    Thanks Paul, I'd be using the Gold Partner broker and ensure I'm borrowing just over the 100K to avail of the rate. So, based on the figures you would recommend staying with KBC and ring-fencing the potential overpayments (as I'm already maxed out on overpayments) to pay a lump sum at the end of...

    Key Post It may be much cheaper than you think to break out of a fixed rate early...

    Monthly payment = €985 currently and the switcher rate for a 7yr fixed is 1.95% which should be approx €1300 per month - which is fine as I am currently saving €500 p/m with no effective interest accruing on my savings.

    Key Post It may be much cheaper than you think to break out of a fixed rate early...

    Thanks Paul, I've received an early redemption fee from KBC of €5,500 and am strongly considering paying the fee and switching to Avant to avail of the 1% lower fixed rate. I would be grateful for thoughts on the Pro's and Con's on this direction; Current Mortgage Outstanding = 102K Current...

    Key Post It may be much cheaper than you think to break out of a fixed rate early...

    I've just asked KBC for a redemption figure but would also like to check this figure when I get it (after reading Ben's post above). Not sure where to locate a 10yr rate from May 2018 as this is when I fixed for 10yrs at 2.95% - so there's roughly 6.5yrs left on the fixed term and the A = 102K...

    He's been found guilty and convicted of a crime in relation to operating a taxi but is free to continue on his merry way & pick up passengers. Where is the actual line here for these judges?

    Improving upon BER Rating

    I'd take a step back and consider the following; 1. What is 0.2% worth to you in today's terms over the mortgage term, will it cover the cost outlay of achieving a B3? 2. As mentioned above, if the walls are not insulated the chances of achieving B3 from an initial F rating is very low -...

    50yr old needing advice re: Investment v Pension

    Thanks for the replies, I have a couple of Q's around increased pension contributions (it's not a PSRA): 1. The shares are mostly company shares and will be subject to CGT when they begin vesting next month so should I still increase pension contributions since I've already paid income & CGT on...
