What? I signed up to an account years ago that said no bank charges ever. I still haven't been charged for anything other than the odd overdraft. Am I missing something?

Thinly veiled"there's more down the back of the sofa than in the bank" thread. Don't worry OP, the Govt will put your money to good use;) Probably.

€2.50 for ATM duty and €2.50 for credit/debit card duty I think.

Have you been living under a rock OP or have you just opened your first bank account?

Switch to Ulster Bank so, no charges as of yet. Vote with your feet.

They can screw you even more now!
Don't pay your household tax?
They can now without a judges order, enter your home and start assessing it for value.

It been confirmed to the Irish media that the Irish taxman will have the power to take money out of the bank accounts of people who have not paid the new property tax. Whats worse - the tax officials will not have to get a court order before telling a bank to give Revenue money from the bank account of a non-compliant property taxpayer! This basically means Revenue can order a bank to hand over money from that person’s bank account.

This is in addition to new powers allowing Revenue officials to enter the homes of those who do not pay to assess the value of properties. The property tax legislation, which was approved by the houses of the Oireachtas last week, has amended the 1997 Tax Consolidation Act. Other new powers to be given to the Revenue Commissioners include those that allow tax officials to enter people’s homes to assess them for the property tax – but this might face a Constitutional challenge.

In part, its all seen by some as another scare tactic by the Irish government. Its the latest of one in many. Be they trying to scare the the public or as of lately, even scaring and bullying their cowardly coalition partners in government.

Ulster Bank needs to deduct taxes - it doesn't pay them for you.

I assume the poster meant the charges that the OP had to pay because the account went overdrawn because of the stamp duty.

That said, I also assume UB has overdrawn charges even if it doesn't have basic transaction charges.

Wait a sec lads, If I live abroad, but have an Irish account, am I exempt from this or does this still affect us fleeing rats?

I didn't know they did this last year and they screwed up my car insurance payment by taking a fiver

This year AXA got in first so there wasn't enough left for the bank to take the fiver. That'll show Thatcher.

I'm on a crap phone Biggins and can't quote long posts so can't quote your post above but I read it.

Jesus, FF were bad and they did many dodgy things but they weren't so fcuked up as to do that. FG are scum and after reading what you wrote above - FG having no respect for people - they're scummier than FF.

I just meant the normal banking charges.

In that case what is the relevance of UB to the OP?

Their Servers are so crap they probably will take about 2 years to get around to deducting the charge? Not sure, tbh.

If I'm correct, these charges were brought in by the Stamp Duties Consolidation Act, 1999
http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1999/en/act/pub/0031/print.html#sec123 - by a FF government.

Your post comes across as:
FF - spend money they don't have - FF are great lads
FG - keep things going as normal, try to balance the books - FG are scum
