Agree with the last post re: negatives outweighing positives if you don't intend to live there. And I wouldn't be so sure of it never being traced, there is more and more automatic exchange of information between tax authorities all the time, and it's moving beyond reporting only non-compliant...

Agree on points re: no provision to address being able to recover arrears or address over-holding - both of which may be made more likely due to the fact that this is increasing tenants' rights significantly without any increased responsibility on their part. As Karl Dieter once said "tenants...

Is there any scope (I've a feeling the answer is no, but just to check) to put the costs of preparing a former rental property for sale against tax on the rental income ? It's treated as a cost of sale, but in my view it's a cost of renting as it was the renting of the property that has...

They don't even look for permission from the owner - just confirmation from the tenant that they have the owner's permission, in arguably, the full knowledge that it's completely bogus. My guess is that's why they're saying they'll remove it for free - they know it shouldn't have gone in in...

Well, an update in case its of use to others, so it's not prepay power it's a prepay with Electric Ireland (who, let me say, have been most helpful) and it turns out that when the tenants moved in (they were a couple who since broke up so only one moving out now) they had a previous debt from...

Thanks mathepac, I wonder would a new provider take it in my name / no name from them though and tenant surely wouldn't put it in their name when they're leaving. I totally agree with you that's what should happen. Just found this schedule of charges from prepay power and there are definitely...

Oh crikey, I better check that out, and will let you know, thank you. Electric Ireland didn't say anything about that - do you know was that for a deposit with new provider or was it a prepay power cost to deactivate? If it's new provider deposit I'm okay with that as could go DD with them instead

Hi, my tenant is moving out and i have just discovered that they installed a prepay power meter without my permission. Apart from being a bit p'eed off about it (added to parking space sublet without my permission also...) is there anything I need to be concerned about ? I called electric...

Hi In a department where all roles at the same level across different teams are treated as the same role, i.e. associate on Team A is same as associate on Team B - can they be differentiated for redundancy, I.e. Team A is made redundant on a compulsory basis and Team B remains in place with no...

Probably a silly question but just wanted to check, have I voided my new car warranty by getting it serviced with someone else. It's a Ford C-Max and the electrics in the driver's wing mirror have gone, so not anything that would be impacted by someone else changing the oil, but I presume Ford...

Just to note that if you do ever consider an equity release scheme, be very wary of the terms & conditions, these can include clauses such as, if you vacate the house for 6 months the bank/finance company can take the house at that point even though you haven't died. So, if you had a long stay...

For your own peace of mind it would be best to get their agreement first, have you called them and advised that you need to update the SFS as your circumstances have changed ? If you can't get contact/agreement from them, then as the previous poster said I would cancel the DD and pay what you...

......just to clarify....I know you said the codes are correct, but by looking for the actual payment message with these codes and the amount, date & time altogether on the message out from the sending bank to the receiving bank is the only way to know for sure what was actually sent instead of...

+1, the sending bank can only see that they sent it.....somewhere.....not that it reached your account The investigation has to start from the sending bank side (this used to be my job many years ago). A trace id is not sufficient, ask them for a full copy of the payment message confirming the...

I used a PTSB visa debit card to pay this on Sun with no issues. Theresa1, was it definitely a 'decline' that she got, or some other error message? If it was a decline, is the balance in her current acc all cleared funds, i.e. did she lodge a cheque recently that's reflected in her balance but...

Yes, everyone has to wear a seatbelt unless they are physically unable to (which doesn't sound like the case) or in the case of a wheelchair user, some chairs have their own belt, it depends on the wheelchair / car configuration. (My brother is severely disabled and we would NEVER drive him...

I think house insurance premiums have shot up. I received my brother's house insurance quote (I'm looking after things for him as he is ill) and it had shot up from 340 last year to 420 this year. I went online, looked at increased excess, tweaking a few other things, nothing was bringing it...

It could well be a scam phishing for personal details, the text looks for insurance details, with which they would get name & address and a hook to start with, for instance they could then call the insurance company pretending to be their customer and advising, say, their new email address, oh...

Yep Ireland has a tax treaty with the U.S. - [broken link removed] Get back on to the administrator and advise that you wish to claim the exemption as you will be including this in your Irish tax return and should therefore receive Gross Dividends. Sounds to me like admin taking the easy...

W8BEN can be used to exclude a foreign investor from the tax altogether......."If applicable, claim a reduced rate of, or exemption from withholding as a resident of a foreign country with which the United States has an income tax treaty and who is eligible for treaty benefits." (From IRS...
