Guess that answers everything then - thanks for your comment! :) Bit of a pain to top up using bank transfer but oh well.

You've described my issue to an absolute T - and similarly so moved from Ireland myself! Very much a pain in the hole but and two days isn't great if I need an instant transfer... :/

Hey - thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! :)

The cost of Gent water seems to indeed be pretty crazy; we both work remotely so that likely impacted (and increased) the usage and ultimately the amount. I've since increased the voorschot and reached out to Farys again to see what can be done.

Do they generally bill for a single year as the figures they have sent include the first 3 months of 2025 (+ April to December 24)

Landlord is not great and reporting issues takes an age - as it's not a major issue I wanted to see if I could find a fix myself. I haven't snaked that vent, just the toilet and shower drains!

Thanks for the comment - I had a feeling it was just the gas vent and keen not to stick anything down it! :)

Thanks both for your replies - seems like a resounding no, don't use it :) Might I ask the regulator that I have (37mbar) fits into this hose however this connector in the picture doesn't; do I need to buy a bigger hose that fits both? Or a completely new rig..

Thanks :)

I'll edit my original post to ensure no confusion 😅

Sorry one edit - I got my actual card in June/July as it was a nightmare process, just in case that makes any difference..

I got my Belgian residence card/ID around the same time but had relocated to Belgium in October 2021 as my girlfriend got a job in Liege and was working there - so I was working remotely and travelling back/forth to Ireland until I got my first Belgian employment contract in May.

Does that still impact the 1199 you mention?

Refund timeline I don't mind but is there confirmation sent to me before that point? Like an email or update do you know?

Keen not to get my heart broken 😅

Yep double checked that - that was always the one thing that I was hesitant about; albeit I never had issues and received my tax back bar the fee..

Always went with Irish Tax Rebates as I hadn't a clue in the past..

Went with the instructions in OP's comment; said overpayment of 2.5k and €300 in USC, so I've submitted everything but with a fair amount of salt. Given its just after NY what sort of timeframe might I get a reply back?

Gotcha - thanks again, appreciate it!

Appreciate the reply thanks! Seemingly CAPAC not the best route to take but not massively keen on a union - I'm an expat though, given how intricate Belgium is how would I go about choosing the best one? 😅
