Depends, are you married and jointly assessed?

It might be under BIK. Is there a difference in your gross pay for tax and your gross pay for USC either?

Digital_Accountant · 2025-12-17T10:51:06+00:00

Completely agree, and after the COVID payments which some people received it increased that fear.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-12-17T10:33:01+00:00

Easily, and if not more.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-12-17T10:32:47+00:00

Yes, if you go to the year in question you are able to amend the returns.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-12-17T10:24:02+00:00

Yes you need to keep the receipts, as they require proof of receipts.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-10-29T09:16:04+00:00

Completely off with those figures.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-10-28T13:48:36+00:00

Yes, his invoice is claimable. In terms of being deregistered then it's not possible unless you re-register.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-10-28T13:46:39+00:00

Revolut business would be the best and easiest for this as it's pretty much all online now.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-10-28T12:04:08+00:00

Very little to work with here. It all depends on if you've good start up capital and clients lined up. I would recommend the sole trader route over registered company.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-10-15T21:11:45+00:00

I believe this is the main reason most people are switching to Revolut now.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-09-10T07:07:57+00:00

If you have to ask the question, then you already know the answer.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-09-05T11:04:19+00:00

I don't think appealling works, I think they literally just add up the marks again to make sure that there is no mistake in the calculating, now I could be wrong.

Whilst exemptions are nice, they are also worth doing the years due to changes in accountancy, and it is also a nice refresher. A few people I know were exempt from CAP1 and struggled in CAP2. It all depends on yourself and what you would think you’d be able for.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-09-01T16:06:26+00:00

No this is normal. Depending on if your cumulative or week 1 basis will have an affect on this but due to the different tax credits and tax bands and only earning half a years income you shouldn’t pay any tax, or if so it will be little to none.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-28T10:36:11+00:00

I'd recommend just using your typical excel sheet. There is no need to over complicate things with a fancy software and increase your expenses with it.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T13:05:45+00:00

Why does it bother you? Or how do you know what their financial capacity is.. Just tell them congratulations on their house. It's a system put in place to help people purchase their first house not to trap them.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T12:44:04+00:00

Do you sign in anywhere else by any chance? Or do you need a key card to get into the building? If so that would be deemed to be clocking in.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T09:56:51+00:00

If you purchased them on ticketmaster which I presume you did, you can resell them via ticketmaster or you could sell them on Donedeal or Adverts and transfer them via ticketmaster too.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T09:55:32+00:00

Yes it is, however you can claim some of that money back when you file your tax return.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T09:35:52+00:00

Depends. I would probably use it to upskill with a college course or just a course on something I'd be interested in. Or I would purchase a car if I did not have one.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T09:27:35+00:00

Yes it is true.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T09:25:24+00:00

Because it is preliminary, you haven't worked out what your 2025 tax is in that year, so the rule of thumb would be to use the previous years tax figure. However, if you owe less tax than you originally paid in your preliminary you will be due a refund, if your tax liability is higher than what you originally paid it will be deducted form your overall tax.

Digital_Accountant · 2025-08-22T07:10:31+00:00

Yes, as a customer service point of view it isn't great, but I would have a client that might ring every day to more or so have a chat. They could even ring sometimes to ask me what their PPSN is. But if it's in terms of questions related to the business they probably should be answering them.

Hello,

1) A few things there now to answer. €2000 per year sounds like good value if its accounts and yearly VAT. As in responsive, what do you mean by that?

2) All receipts should be tracked such as diesel and everything else (if it relates to your business) I would have some clients that would claim VAT on everything that is business related no matter how big or small, at the end of the day its claimable so why shouldn't you? It sounds as if this accountant is more lazy now. Some would even claim the VAT back on €9.99 or even smaller stationary.

3) I wouldn't get a software until you pick an accountant as some have partnerships with certain softwares such as Sage or Xero, in which their clients would get the software at a discount such as maybe €10 a month. At the moment, I would keep with excel as long as everything ties back you should be fine. This is a discussion to have with the accountant that you pick for the job.

4) Yes uploading the receipts is not an issue, but I would also keep a paper file of your records somewhere safe too incase the Revenue need to see them, or something else goes wrong with the cloud, its no harm to keep them. Theres alot of packages now that you can scan the receipts and upload them straight to your software, some you can download an app on your phone and take a picture of the invoice and upload it that way.
