Filling in Form 12 - A few questions

The foreign income section asks for dividend payments from GB and N. Ireland.
Presumably this includes dividends received from Vodafone shares which i still hold from the whole Eircom saga??
Even though my very modest dividend (around €22 in total for 2004) is used to purchase additional Vodafone shares do I still need to declare this??

this is the first time I am making a tax return - what are the implications of dividend payments from Eircom and vodafone not declared up til now?

Also using your site I have calculated my allowable loss on the Eircom share sale to Valentia. I am declaring this for the first time also and carrying forward as unused to 2005. Are there any issues here??

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

They should be declared. I doubt that Revenue will be too worried that these are late due to the size of them.

Yes - see this thread (it's a bit complicated though).
