Its a long time since this was said,but ITS ALL A LOAD OF BOLLOX

About VRT....Unless there is something specific for taxis it will cost more to import or buy a new hybrid/plug in hybrid as the reliefs have been taken away.

The road tax reduction for regular motorists doesn't apply to us.

Does that exempt you from having to be available to "take up employment"? Presumably so

Most of us would need to take in €250/300(renters even more) to net 120.If we take in €310 we're netting €130 which excludes us from the PUP.That's a very narrow window to operate in IMO.You are then hoping and praying that social welfare don't ask to see your accounts at some point.

Maybe there's something specific for taxis coming.Right now I'll stay on the €250.No effort required.Maybe look for some work into the hand after Xmas.

Worry about yer audit when it comes. A good accountant will guide you through it as best he can and minimize yer dues. Failing that, tell em you'll pay 30 a month. Failing that, there's good hardware stores that stock the best quality rope. Someone on YouTube will show you how to make a proper noose..

Jonno I'm comfy,I'll be alright until next year at least..A basic grasp of maths is what's lacking in the taxi industry.

Guys who worked, and didn't qualify for the PUP, depended on Fri and Sat night to make the week tolerable. Now we will have everyone back on Fri and Sat night trying to get all their allowable money on those nights. F###!

On an entirely different matter, and to escape the one minute budgie bulletins, Ronaldo has managed to catch the pox. Everyone already knows, no doubt.

Bob I don't know your setup but maybe sign on the Covid for two weeks(wink wink) then you might be eligible for the €1000 grant.You don't even have to stay off.(wink wink}

I still think we're unlikely to be reopened fully in 2020/21.

fukk him.I dont care as lobg as andre wright doesn't get it ahead of our weekend game

At least we have been given the, however slim, chance to recoup the €50/€100 that Mehaul cunt took off us... if we can be arsed. It's a fucking disgrace that we have to work and spread the disease for that chance but I guess drivers' unions will be happy...

What do we want.... more drivers working.
Why do we want it..... because there's no work.

Bring back Dr. Leo. Dr. Leo was great so he was.

Start when you want and maintain books of account as usual.

I'm shocked at a taxi driver worrying about proving anything to do with earnings!

You don't have to earn €120/week, that's just the maximum*.

*as per contributions to Ireland's biggest and bestest taxi forum... I haven't seen (or looked for) anything official as yet.

i'll say as soon as the finance bill is passed and signed by mick, you are safe to start work. also remember the 120 per week is gross income, not net income. so i would say approximately when your meter records 200 per week, you should head back to the sofa for the rest of the week.
