Question: Each year I get a refund from over payment of income tax and?

each year I get a statement of the refunds that I have to include in my tax return. Why do I have to pay income tax on income refunded for over payment the year before.
If this money had never been deducted and then returned I would not have paid tax on it, so why must it be included as income tax for the next year?

Answer: this is not necessarily true.

some people itemize and deduct what the state takes. this makes it so that they don’t pay tax on that amount.

if that is your case then you have to include it in income to pay tax on it.

Question: National City Bank has not paid the water company my mom’s payments for 2 years?

National city was bought by pnc and pnc won’t show any statements before 10/09 online.When we try to login the national city website it redirects to pnc bank. The water department claims it hasn’t gotten a payment for two years. They in response to not having a payment was to put a hold against my mother’s property taxes for sewer payments. Meanwhile for the last 2 years national city bank has been taking payments made on their bill pay website..
My mother has spoken to pnc 3 times since this January. Each time she talks to them they tell
her it’s ok they will clear it up for her by emailing the bill pay department which would update her payments into the new system. It has been 4 months and we hav nothing to prove to the water company that we are paid up for the last 2 years until pnc reacts. What do we do to speed this up.?
he said she has been disconnected while holding for them some times also.

Answer: This is just one more reason why I don’t like so-called “online banking”. I prefer a physical statement that is mailed to me on a monthly basis, that I can put away and keep in my file cabinet.

Water bill not paid? No problem, let me just refer to my paper statements here and see what the issue might be.

The lesson here is, don’t trust technology completely. When I lost electricity for several days this past winter, I wanted to call my neighbors that were vacationing in Florida, just to let them know the status of their property (a tree had fallen on their roof). Guess what? It’s impossible to look-up cell phone numbers AND the only place I had their mobile number stored was in my Yahoo contacts list. No power. No computer. No internet. No access to phone numbers. Now I keep a physical list of all the important phone numbers near the phone.

Question: How do lenders calculate how much the self employed can borrow for their mortgage?

ie… P.A.Y.E can borrow around 4x their gross pay.

Ok! I’ll elaborate.!!!!!!!!!

Do lenders use a self employed persons net income (ie.. after tax) or their gross income (ie.. before tax).

And forget Self Cert! Lets assume we are talking about a person who can prove what they earn and has a good credit history.
And prefrebly from the UK so to avoid any American jargon!

Thanks

Answer: Hi there,

Self Employed Mortgages differ from lender to lender. Many companies will use your net income as the basis for your mortgage calculation, however they will take your accounts and also use irregular income and add that to it (i.e projections and forecasts for this years income will often be taken into account.)

I have a self employed mortgage and although I was turned down by C&G when I applied direct, I found a mortgage broker who got me a great deal with nationwide, and they used a 4x basis to calculate.

In my opinion (from experience) you are best approaching a ‘whole of market’ financial adviser who can let you know the best products available to suit your position.

Hope this helps
