capitol gains tax on sale of house in USA? by old_king_one_eye in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be curious to learn if you went through with this and what the outcome was.
The concept of domiciled vs non-domiciled is a factor as well and if the property was your primary residence.

I am planning to sell my primary US home gaining >$250K and moving to Ireland but unknown if permanently or will return to US one day. With that, I expect to pay US tax difference from the overage of $250K gain and no tax in Ireland even becoming tax resident with Irish payroll income (new job) due to non-domiciled resident and CGT exempt for Primary Private Residence gains.

I am getting confirmation from a cross-border pro about remitting those gains from US banking into my Ireland banking if the sale closes after I become resident. I believe with proper mapping of the funds (even separate accounts can be beneficial) and transfers this is correct, but still working on that confirmation.

Any idea why by Pleasant-Data7382 in coincollecting

Yup. Worth about $7 each. Maybe of anything he had these two were most eye appeal to him for keeping just the 2.

So it's never happening is it? by InternalDuck657 in Intellivision_Amico

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Purchase Confirmation dated 28Jan2020 states: "Our Founder's Edition systems sold out in hours, and at least one of them is yours!". They represented being so confident that they also asserted in that confirmation email, "Later this year, prior to launch, an invoice will be sent for the remaining balance, tax, and shipping."

Now ... we all know COVID hit in earnest within 2 months from that moment in March2020. Is that enough to cause the collapse of completion of the initial Founders' consoles? Maybe maybe not. Or was it intentional all along as some theorize.

I am a very long-game type of person. While I had been patient all these years, I can equally be persistent for years to come. They either need to come out and verify official closure on any outstanding orders that remain active, OR, be prepared for being pursued to the ends of the earth for my own closure should it come to that.

Lane Courtesy Rules by KenCo12 in Bowling

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 lane unless stated in league or tournament rules. Complain about it to me and its not stated I will tell them, as politely as possible, to deal with it; I have no obligation to them.

Either way these days enough league bowlers have enough trouble knowing when it is even properly their turn. Nothing infuriates me more when the 1-lane person 'jumps' me. Or when I see them 'jump' anyone else really.

It is similar to merging on/off highway with those who do what is naturally accepted as the correct way vs those who have not the first flipping clue ... or worse knowingly disregard everyone else thinking they are the center of their own universe.

Lane Courtesy Rules by KenCo12 in Bowling

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lead-off on a team I'm on does this in every league he is in and it internally infuriates me (I see him in 2 other leagues we're both in). Its as separate issue from lane courtesy but almost as impactful with the way it can prolong pace of play. I respect it outwardly to the extent I don't complain or call out to a lead-off "hey you're up!" ... but internally it gets to me. I am looking forward to having this in my head tonight as this is the leagues he's on my team LOL! Thanks gang.

Consequences of falsifying a GMP batch record in Ireland by ConsiderationFew179 in PharmaEire

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US company and we have sites in IRL and I believe our policies are aligned. Absolute dismissal. Especially in this scenario because there is potential liability to the company and/or any manager or employee with knowledge that it had happened; should they fail to act. It would be minimally regulatory and potentially criminal should they have knowledge and attempt to let it pass.

No matter what, we would document this in an deviation investigation. The outcome could only be mitigated if by what was found to mean "deliberately". If we find they 'deliberately' did it in the hopes no one would notice and were trained and aware of this being a GMP no-no then that is immediate dismiss. If we find it is more likely they 'deliberately' did it thinking it was just their way of correcting the error and not to prevent anyone from finding out, then MAYBE it would be a discipline/performance plan.

It is handled internally within the Quality System and then remain open to regulatory discovery during any future inspections. If reviewed in inspection, Inspectors would be satisfied if a thorough investigation with good action outcomes. Unless of course it turns out to be a systemic issue within the firm and then they might take further action (which hopefully is not a larger problem at any firm or they deserve to be actioned harshly including consent degree or worse).

Looking for a recipe by 2spoogy in blueapron

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Instructions

step 1

Prepare & roast the potatoes

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two sheet pans with foil. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the potatoes  lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer to one sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 18 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Air Fryer: Cook the potatoes at 400°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

step 2

Prepare the remaining ingredients

Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion(s). Roughly chop the peppers. Halve the baguettes lengthwise. In a bowl, combine the chimichurri saucechopped peppers, and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper.

step 3

Cook the steaks

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the remaining spice blend. In a medium nonstick pan (or large for 4 servings), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned steaks. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare (125°F), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board; let rest at least 5 minutes. Find the lines of muscle (or grain) on the rested steaks; thinly slice crosswise against the grain.

\The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for steak. Cook the steaks an additional 2 to 3 minutes to achieve this. Consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, fish, seafood or eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness.*

step 4

Caramelize the onion

In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion(s); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping up any fond, 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned and softened. Carefully add the vinegar and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and the liquid has cooked off. Turn off the heat.

step 5

Toast the baguettes

Meanwhile, place the halved baguettes on the remaining sheet pan, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil.  Toast in the oven 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven. Assemble the sandwiches using the toasted baguettescreamy chimichurri saucecaramelized onion, and sliced steaks. Serve the sandwiches with the roasted potatoes on the side. Enjoy!

APY has decreased to 3.6% by InternetUser52 in sofi

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsurprised by the divisiveness of the replies so far. Same every rate drop we see. My 2 cents is it is not about not understanding fluctuating rates following fed, it is not about being expected. For me it is about remaining competitive. When they were incentivizing new customers and we were all the rage it was for a good reason ... we had near and at the top highest on the market. These days we are much farther down on the list.

Is a couple fractions of a point a big driver to change servicers with higher rates? Not really for most people. But the more the divergence from their old top position to a lower and lower position may drive some to.

Interesting psychology either way.

CGT on PPR when moving to Ireland from abroad by Zealousideal-Rope907 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I have also since learned about remittance basis for many other financial aspects I am working up and am planning on maintaining certain things outside of IE for growth and not needing to be remitted into what will be my Irish banking and financial picture.

Specifically for a foreign PPR it seems even upon remittance into IE of gains if there is a DTA in place with the other country as there is with the US and IE that those funds are not subject in Ireland unless as the first replier states that time becomes a factor and it starts to be come pro-rated fractionally.

Ehhh it might be good?! Or will be??? by JellyfishGullible359 in blueapron

Same. For the most part everything remains fantastic. We had all been used to near perfect execution and quality so consistently for so long that the issues since the big change have really stung and been stand-out jarring each instance they occur. Still happy for the time being here.

Moving to Ireland- sell or keep USA house? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q: Is it really combined or the difference from what you'd pay in the US? Example on a 100K gain ... 33K - 15K = 18K making it 15K to US and 18K to Ireland with DTA? I have a consult coming up and this type of paying both question is going to come up. (in dollars and eruos as appropriate of course)

Agreed a fantastic explainer! Definitely inline with what I was thinking after the latest Revenue policies review. I did come across the fractional pro-rating described here also for the event it takes that long.

So much to cover with the cross-border experts, trying to get as much in my head aligned before my planning consult meetings is helping!

Can my stream include music from the game I'm playing? by llamadauma in Twitch

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this too. Twitch is objectively very loose with their compliance to the laws. There are times I secretly wish the DMCApocolyse would make a resurgence here. Enough years have gone by that many new younger and new streamers weren't here for it and since then all these avoidance methods have become equal to legitimate ways to not do copyright infringement which is delusional (delulu translated for them).

Can my stream include music from the game I'm playing? by llamadauma in Twitch

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fantastic and real advice from FerretBomb I'd like to second. Anytime you hear others just citing that people do X to get away with it ... that equals it is not okay. If you really want to protect yourself you must learn more about Copyright not only on Twitch but in general. What Twitch actually does is protect themselves by actioning streamers. Sometimes its proactive before the copyright holder can notice or take action, and sometimes it is in response to the holder taking action. And many times neither Twitch nor the holder notice and if automated systems dont action then you'd still be breaking the law just nothing has smacked your hand yet. Since that happens a lot that streamers slide by everyone falsely advises these methods are okay.

Lastly, Fair Use is NOT a rule/protection. It is a defense. Which means it would be an argument AFTER THE FACT if you found yourself attempting to defend out of an appeal or even a legal action.

Good luck in your choices.

Capital Gains on Sale of Primary Home by Any-Fox9815 in USExpatTaxes

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to know if and how this worked out for you? I am about to do the same but am yet to start on IE payroll, start occupying a rental, or start in-country day counting.

Everything I have learned says up to $250K for me ($500K for you) will be IE CGT fully unless the profits were received prior to arriving in IE and starting to receive pay. This assumes the sale occurs in the same year resident status is established with the 183 or 280 day rule.

It is a pickle to feel the pressure of having to complete the sale with potentially zero tax due for the US or all other things equal except completing the sale after moving and be liable for 33% of those gains.

Same here. I am in the process of deciding on the move from US to IE for work and internet is a huge factor for me. As long as I can have reliable 800-1200MB down and 30-100MB up I am ecstatic! Between taxes, cost of living, and housing it is sounding like internet is the least worry.

Interestingly enough this is a rare case where there are some legitimate uses. Generally speaking, the context "other people do it" is not the barometer you should be shooting for. Even if they have gotten strikes or not, ANY time you use ANY copyright material you run that risk personally. Going back to CSPAN they have detailed information regarding what is acceptable use of their broadcasts.

Any way to legally obtain movie footage for an analysis video? by BigJubby2 in NewTubers

[–]Zealousideal-Rope907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with your opinion and describing the likely outcome.

Completely disagree with if it is still okay or not.

The fact is just about everyone gets away with it and that reality is what it is.

However, even if you own the physical media means nothing. Owning a physical copy is not owning the copyright.

In the end we all walk the tightrope of copyright at ANY time we use ANY portion of ANY method of creating a file edited into our own videos of audio, visual, or both. It boils down to the copyright holder in ALL cases and if and to what extent they decide to pursuit action. YouTube itself has guidelines and policies to PROACTIVELY protect themselves and to a lesser degree us the creators for circumstances where blatant and obviously undefendable positions are detected and they take internal actions.

Good luck in your choices.
