Hi, I'm Paul and just joined the forum - 2 concerns
Posted: 10 Nov 2014 12:06
2 concerns bothering me at the moment. be grateful if anyone has any comments.
1) IPT. I received a demand from my developer for "repayment" of IPT they say they have paid on my behalf since 2006. I have seen documents stating that developers have to provide clients with proof, i.e. invoice from tax department etc, to prove that they have paid the IPT on our behalf. However they appear to be very reluctant to do so. I have emailed then 4 times asking them to provide the required proof but they simply ignore my requests. Am I legally obliged to pay it even though they will not provide me with evidence that they have paid it on my behalf and also can they legally charge me a penalty for not paying it on time even though they have not provided me with previously mentioned proof. I have told them I am happy to pay it provided they provide me with the proof they have paid it but they will not respond.
2) We have a comunal pool and Aristo have said it is classed as a public pool and the new law says we have to have a lifeguard present when people are using it. This would mean we would have to pay someone (I was told 10 Euros an hour) 8 hours a day, 7 days a week for lifeguard duties. This would be a considerable expense. We were previously told by Aristo that the pool is a splash pool not a swimming pool but now they are saying the opposite.
I don't see how it can be classed as a public pool when it is for just for residents.
Is there somewhere where I can look up what the law is about these matters ?
Thanks
Paul
