Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

getting confused now

Inheritance tax is a scam. "Legalized" theft by the State.

Joe forgetting about mortgage relief which applied to a lot of houses before it was reduced then abolished.

Just the Govt getting some of its money back on the merry-go-round.

so as I wouldn’t suddenly be turfed out of Dublin 6 family home when my mother died, she literally sold it whilst still in her relative health, gifted me the proceeds, I paid the tax on the amount over €500K, bought an apartment for me & herself to live in. Saved me a huge amount of potential grief.

Duffy is wound up about this,

Clearly has skin in the game,

Another personal

Topic?

😃 When is your impending demise?

Was that the sound of Joes quill on his copybook there?

First time to listen in, cawlur?

unfortunately not,

It’s a type of perverse pleasure

living in sin for forty five years

only for my parents’ hard work I could almost be in a tent now. For decades my health had been bad and I literally would not have earned enough to buy a gaff.

209. Is he not capable of saying two thousand and nine.??

A pre-death gift like that is taxable, too. A sliding scale, in that if you gift a huge amount to a relative or friend who would have benefitted from your death (in your will) they will pay less tax the more time elapsed before death. ie, six or seven years before nothing is due; but one year before, the full amount is due.

Not certain of the exact % and amounts, but it's there nonetheless. The bastards have it sewn up.

I was not expecting a "…ya know wha I meen…" from this caller.

a telepole??
