Probably all you lot did but am sharing anyway since I have 15 years in UK and 9 years in Ireland already built up with private pensions as well....so now I don't feel so bad at all _______________________ Learn to catch and skin a rabbit....you never know when a skill like that could come in handy Read my Blog....

I have tried several local tax offices and the website in my hunt for info on what expenses you can set aside from the taxman in the UK on your overeas property. i.e. mortgage payments, maintenance, etc. Mark _______________________ Marksfish (My fishkeeping homepage) Holiday Almeria (Apartment rental page) Spam post?

They did howevergive me a number in Manchester where they were very helpful and they also have an ex- pat department. The number is 0845 300 0627. After months of searching, I have finall found what I want Mark This message was last edited by Marksfish on 10/12/2007. _______________________ Marksfish (My fishkeeping homepage) Holiday Almeria (Apartment rental page) Spam post?
