Lay My Hat

Does anyone know a liable handyman they can reccommend in the Tavira area, please?

Ive received a suggestion from a returning guest that a smart tv would be useful as my current tv has limited UK TV and guests may like to watch Netflix, etc. Is it worth doing, or even possible to watch uk netflix, etc in PT? The fact that you say you have limited UK TV suggests that you are on so...

Did you (or your accountant) omit to select box 10 (Sim) of Quadro 3B (Estabelecimento Estável) of Anexo B? If not you will not get the 15% coefficient applied and will pay 25% withholding tax (not 3.75%) (ie 6.67 times more tax). If that's the explanation, correct the mistake and submit an amended...

My understanding is that it's proposed in the State Budget that the percentage of gross income for AL lettings that is deemed to be taxable profit is to increase from 15% to 35%, so the effective tax rate (in Portugal) will increase from 3.75% to 8.75% of gross income. :shock: :evil: How could they...

I've seen a couple of brief discussions on here about Home Escape. Summary seemed to be that a) their search function doesn't work well, b) nobody was getting any bookings through them and c) their user support wasn't very good. Now that we're into the high season, has anyone got an update? It doesn...

Can anyone recommend a serious, balanced, online EU newspaper or two, or three, published in English? You might try http://www.defenddemocracy.press/ or follow them at: https://www.facebook.com/The.Delphi.Initiative/ A friend sent me the links today today saying it's an alternative news site, ... I...

Also I guess I did not phrase my question correctly I'm looking for the best template site that doesn't look like a template site LOL. Thanks look forward to your response I'd give Weebly a try. They have lots of templates including free ones so you can play around and see if you could get somethin...

I don't charge a separate cleaning fee and would avoid having to pay one myself. However, I get the impression that some offsite owners prefer to charge one (especially if they live in another country from where their property is located) because they can have it paid directly to the cleaner. That p...

Don't forget, many of the EU countries have more of their nationals in UK than there are British expats in the EU country, so won't want to sign any agreements that would adversely affect their nationals. However, as I understand it, the major problem is that many of the EU nationals are WORKING in...

Thanks both.
I'll try to find time to try them soon. I'll stick with the original first time round and then experiment using your suggestions if I find it too banana tasting.

If you don't want lemon flavoured flapjacks, use milk as your liquid to stick the oats together, and add 2 tsp cinnamon or ginger to the dry mix. I want to try the recipe I found in this forum for Lemon flapjacks. It's a good few years since it was posted but if the author or anyone who used the re...

Just came across something in the Spain forum (sorry, Costa Brava I don't know how to pull across an attribution from another forum) Roll on the UK channels including the BBC allowing guests to log on to such as iPlayer with their UK 'licence number' as required by the EU. Suppose this change is imp...

Then I'm doubly knackered in the Brexit fiasco. I'm Scottish. So I'm a Euro-resident coming out and then maybe going back in again. It's a mess and it's going to take a couple of years at least to know where we stand. Only one solution really. Sell up at the best price we can get. I'll comment on t...

I had no problem watching the video, though the end of it did seem to have been cut off. BUT I don't understand what point it thinks it's making. It certainly doesn't reassure me that there is nothing to worry about. 'They' (the other EU governments) may need the british expats more than 'we' the UK...

Thanks Ludwig, interesting that HMRC weren't prepared to or couldn't answer your question about capital expenditure. That's the critical one for me but not sure if they don't know how your accountant will know how HMRC will be likely to view it a year or so down the line if you don't meet the thresh...
