Credit cards are almost essential these days if you need to buy anything online or over the phone - so this tax is a nice little earner for the Irish Revenue. Ulster Bank will give you €40 credit if you spend over €6000 on their credit card in a year. If you use it for the grocery shopping and petrol you would soon reach this figure. If you are too young to apply for a credit card - or if you just can't get one or don't want one - there is a way to shop online without a credit card. 3V Vouchers are disposable pre-paid VISA debit numbers printed onto a receipt and are bought just like buying mobile top-up. 3V Vouchers can be used to shop on the Internet, over the phone or by mail order anywhere VISA is accepted.

© 2002-2005		Tip: If you are moving to Ireland you should be able to keep your existing Credit Cards - just tell the providers that you are moving. You will need some way of paying it off - i.e a current internet bank account in the country you came from. This should not be a problem - it might be a good idea to get one set up before you move. It will be easier to pay off any old bills in your previous address.
