No it is not me....both my wife and myself are PAYE workers. I know what the waiting list and payment terms are because i enquired about getting work done at one point in time. I was told it was a six month wait and 25% deposit required by Revolut to secure a booking place with the balance to...

I can only go on what I’ve been told and what I’ve seen and it certainly does add up. From my own experience, we undertook a significant house renovation in the last few years. Of the eight quotes we got, two of the companies were willing to offer a discount for cash without being asked, one of...

I know as the person who made the report is a neighbour. Whilst I didn’t see the actual written report I did see the evidence supplied to substantiate the claims made. This was photographs of works carried out taken from this persons social media account over the last 3 years. I don’t know the...

I've found that falls on deaf ears. I know of one tradesman who fraudulently claimed 20k in Covid payments and has paid approximately 2k per year for the last 10 years in income tax. They openly brag about having multiple six figures in cash hidden away when they have had a few drinks. They also...

Does absolutely zilch for parents who have been forced into the childminder black market due to Lack of creche places available in Dublin. We tried 25 creches and most likely wont get a space until 2024 at this point, so are now paying €550 a week to a childminder. This scheme only extends to...

Not from my reading of the rules but open to correction on this. Not doubt revenue will be well aware of the profits being achieved on almost every previous metal watch at this stage. Grey market prices on the olive DD have climbed almost 20k in a matter of weeks with them now being...

Thanks you very much Sarenco. I have previously mentioned to my mother that i thought this to be the case so she will be relying the info to my god mother in order to get things changed accordingly

Hi All, I am assisting a close family friend (my god mother) to get her affairs in order. She currently has a will made in which she specifies that her house is to be left to my mother and all other assets / possessions go to her cousin. No other stipulations are made in this will. The...

From the website A number of car manufacturers are accused of diesel emissions fraud after allegedly fitting defeat devices in their vehicles to cheat emissions tests and laws between 2007 and 2020. Hundreds of thousands of diesel cars and vans are involved in the ‘Dieselgate’ scandal, and it...

My father in law mentioned that he saw an advert on TV for a class action suit being pursued by a UK firm against a number on manufacturers on a no win no fee basis. Just wondering if anyone here has signed up for this? Might be of use to anyone who has imported from the UK in recent years. I...

I started tracking this in January for our family of 3 with one child age 6. Our food spend from 25/01/2021 to 25/02/2021 is likely to be between €850 and €900. We use Aldi for the majority of our shop and go to a good butcher for our meats for Saturday and Sunday meals.

I know of someone who paid a employee of a bank €2500 in order to get mortgage approval in recent years. Apparently said individual operated this operation as a side line business and his number was passed around tradesmen who often found it difficult to get mortgage approval. Apparently the...

These guys seem to offer and pre packaged solution. Ive no idea about the quality of their work but should give you something to go off. http://www.surehome.ie/special-offers/extension-offers

Not that i am aware of......once the coin is not legal tender in Ireland then any gains are subject to CGT. I was researching this not so long ago and was surprised to see that CGT extended to things such as precious metal watches also.

Having dealt with numerous tradesmen over the last two years the only advice i can give is absorb every bit of knowledge you can from the older generation. Take pride in your work no matter how big or small the job is and let your results speak for themselves. If you are anyway savvy with...

Parents can gift the sibling 3k annually each in order to cover the nominal rent value

Could you gift the house to your child and have your child give your mother a right of residence. This will result in a CAT liability for the child but should be substantially less than if you were to gift the property to your mother
