We are getting Possibly free licences to retain workers as asked for by Reps we might be getting a scrappage scheme to retain drivers as asked for by reps and we will be allowed go to work where there is no work and claim the Puppy so we can compete with the few drivers that were surviving by making a few Lira .All in all Fuck All .

+ a few Drachmas on the price of Diesel to wipe out any gain we might get .

Eamo the Cabbage is the Taximans helpfull Uncle .He will push up the cost of motoring and reduce on street parking .That way Evelin and Nathan wont be asking Mam and Pa for a car for their 18th Birthday and Olivea Breslin From the Flats wont be driving to lidle on Thursdays to buy a Snorkel and a large bucket of Hamster Food .When a Second car becomes an expensive luxury the Pedestrians wont be Going shopping or Clubbing on their Bike they will use a Taxi .Eamo the Cabbage is Great like Dr Leo .VRT up Motor Tax Up .Carbon tax Up.Fuel Tax Up .I bet none of the taxi reps will thank the Cabbage for forcing motorists off the road and creating business opportunities for taxi drivers .

Workers drawing down the special pandemic unemployment payment or the temporary wage subsidy face tax bills of up to €2,800 at the end of the year, according to calculations from personal finance advisers.
That is on top of the loss in income running into thousands of euro for many workers as the weekly payment is below their normal take -home pay.
And most are not aware of it, the company says. It warns that January could see more than one million people who are in receipt either of the unemployment payment or the temporary wage subsidy “scrambling to balance their tax affairs”.
*And the self employed will have scant expenses or capital write offs to reduce their tax bills, according to one taxi driver who knows fuck all about this stuff*.

Not relevant .You take your earnings Pre Covid Early March then add in your Covid Payments and any other Earnings during your Fiscal year .Deduct Costs and Tax free allowances you will only pay tax on Profits above your allowances if any .I doubt many drivers will have earned 20K including Covid for the year deduct Fuel ,Insurance ,Phone .Maintainance Car Repayments .Tests ,Licences Most if not all Drivers will be carrying forward a Loss for 2020 .The problem might be covering last years bill due to lack of funds but I think you can lodge your return and do a deal on payment without any penalties due to the Pandemic .

Taxi accounts are simple Income - costs and capital depreciation .A lot of accountants over complicate the process to frighten people from self assessment .I have a Man does mine in about half an hour if I already have spreadsheets done for income and outgoings .I use to have a Girl took her half a day then you had to go back a week later for the Damage .

Think last year he charged €250

If yous have the spreadsheets why are yis paying someone else if it's easy?Having an accountant doesn't stop you getting an audit.
250 quid is five days work in the taxi after expenses..

I changed my car last year paid deposit plus new meter and monthly payments .An accountant will advise me the best way to offset those costs .

So we can earn 120 a week and still claim. Thats good news. I'll be going back ASAP now. More to get out and about than for the money. I was afraid up to this point because there's no work but now we've nothing to lose. So does that mean drivers will be back in their droves thus diluting the bit of work that is there? Does it also mean that the drivers that are already back will now be claiming the pup? Not that I care too much, main thing is we can go back to work. Happy days.
-
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.

....120 per week wouldn't even cover overheads in a taxi.You need 200 for an owner driver to break even which would exclude us from claiming the PUP.Maybe there are other things coming because so far there is no incentive to return to work.

Would it not mean 120 a week AFTER expenses? Surely it does?

this is not necessarily a good thing as I found out to my cost.they wont let you have 2 welfare payments so you loose the covid coin
-
^^^Dunno Horsey...even if it was after expenses you'd be finding it hard to get a bit of sly cash work during the current Covid mess.If there's nothing but app and card work it can't be hidden.The folks that draw up these bills have no idea what it costs to run a taxi.
-

Yes, it’s €120 earnings not gross.

How would a driver stay on the apps but remain under the 120 threshold?The two positions aren't compatible IMO.
-
"so far there is no incentive to return to work". Unless they look for a photo of your meter reading, and mileometer, before you go back to work, of course there is. Mmm, yes I forgot the apps, you'ld have to just work the streets, where there isn't even €120 worth of work, and they have the mileometer reading from the NCT. Still I reckon that a lot of guys will still try to game it..... more competition.

Bob I'm talking about only being allowed to earn 120 net(i think) before you lose any eligibility for COVID funds.Cash work is thin on the ground.
Sorry I see you get me in your edited post.I wanna work but only if it's not for feck all.
-
I doubt you will get 120 a week but if it says 480 a month then work the app to get 480 then go back to the sofa .If most drivers return you wont get a ton a week on the app add in fuel and taxi insurance you might be up a score bit of a smoke and your broke again .
-
Would it not mean 120 a week AFTER expenses? Surely it does?
Yes, it’s €120 earnings not gross.
I would go back for an extra 120 a week after expenses, fooking right I would. More to get out of the gaf and not lose my pup than anything else. 7 months sitting around in the house is getting to me mentally not to mention I've only 250 a week. I'm delighted with this news.

Wont be for a few weeks though john, I've to get a car and pass it out. That is provided the nct and sgs and sticker and metre installers and sealers are open. God only knows what level of lock down we'll be in next week nevermind next month. Good news all the same.
-
I’d imagine most drivers monthly deductibles would be €1000 a month before fn commission, so you’d be able to do a tad over €1500 monthly on the app and any bit of cash work that you can find... it’s better than sweet fcuk all

I would consider renting for a while .If things dont work out hand it back .
-
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.

That thought has crossed my mind john though my plate will expire in March so I need to get it on a car one way or the other.

It is 12 months lapsed in March merch man so I've gotta put it on a car before then.

Everyone will be back working, because the day of reckoning will be 12 months down the road, and guys will worry about that when it arrives. So it will be more for the guys who didn't work, and less for those who did, + €1k to kick it off......... wonderful!

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..

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...

Why do we want it..... because there's no work.

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.

Minister Paschal Donohoe has announced a range of measures to support the SME sector through the pandemic.
He said he was extending the debt warehousing provisions to allow self-employed taxpayers to defer payment for a period of a year with no interest applying.
A rate of 3% would apply thereafter and there would be no surcharge.
The provision would be extended to include the 2019 balance and 2020 preliminary tax.
Building on the measures introduced in the July Stimulus, the Minister said he was directing his department to coordinate a group comprised of representatives from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Enterprise Ireland, the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund and the European Investment Fund.
The group, he said, would report to him by the middle of next month with proposals to leverage European capital and establish an equity fund with a mandate to invest in domestic, high innovation enterprises.
Pashal Donohoe said he was providing an initial €30m in funding through the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (ISIF) to support an appropriate and effective scheme and thereby leverage matching funding for early stage seed and growth capital.
"In addition, as part of a continuing process of ensuring that our business supports remain efficient and responsive, my Department will this year initiate an assessment of how the Employment and Investment Incentive Scheme can be enhanced in light of the impact of the current crisis," the Minister said.

Age 67, don't qualify. Too many life mistakes leave me still needing reasonable money despite the OAP.

Good luck looking for "reasonable money" with all the puppy dole scroungers scratching around for a ton and a bit.

When do we start work? How are we to prove we earned 120 a week? Thatll be my main questions now
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
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.

Ah here, you're back tracking now. According to your good self the aul aloe vera was the cure for everything. Jasus you were banging on about it that much that you'd have the department of health recommending we all inject it for a covid cure. Youre as bad as trump for lunacy, worse even, if thats possible.

Eh no. I think if I tried to roller blade I'd end up wrapped around a tree or under a bus and have a lot more problems than a bad back. I got myself one if them heat pads that you chuck in the microwave to heat it up and put it on my back. Works wonders for me. Better than the aul torvel and deans with shell I reckon.

Not to bad ..2 liter Diesel VRT increase ...At Volkswagen, for example, the prices for more traditional family hatchbacks like the Golf remain broadly the same – a Golf 2.0 diesel 115hp Life model will go up just €76 – but its best-selling Tiguan SUV models go up in price by an average of €3,000.

Self-employed people in receipt of the PUP will be able to earn up to €480 per month without losing their payment. The government has indicated that this measure will come into effect soon.
In a statement, Social Protection Minister Heather Humphreys said this measure will “give certainty to those workers in sectors like our taxi industry and our arts and entertainment sectors”.

Your not getting 420 a month but if your on the covid Coin you can earn that much and not lose your payments .
-
I worded that badly John, yeah we can earn the 480. I'm trying to figure out if we can claim the grant on top? Or if we claim the grant do we still have to close the pup. Cant find it in black and white anywhere. Gotta imagine we can get it without closing pup.

You can only claim the grant after you close your covid claim .

During the gfc we got nuttin ....at least I didnt .....now I can get 420 a week .....I can claim the dole and "work " .......obviously I will probably earn nuttin but at least I can sit in me car and keep me head together.....at least I can pay some bills and live off some savings .....have all these blokes living from hand to mouth not learned anything from the past ....are they all living beyond ther means ..? Living On the edge of a bankruptcy cliff from one week to the next and now that thers the inevitable one way or another downturn they fucked .... who's fault is that? Publicly Boasting on the internet that ther earning 2000 a week before this pandemic and now they on the dole they cant but a dinner in tesco cause ther broke ........yur fuking self employed....yur supposed to save for a rainy day ....that's why yu pay fuk all tax ....that's the deal
......
Awful moany dopey cnuts driving taxis .....
Fair play to barrett and a cople of others in the dail who have been fighting for us to be allowed work and keep our dole and keep our sanity more importantly....fair fuking play to them and wat a welcome change to wat wev seen over the past few years and the the councillors and green morons who want us terminated an off the streets ....
And while I'm at it ...we all know that you we can get a cash job and stick it in yur phoca and 120 is only on account ....
This cud be an opportunity to turn tings around on that freenow crowd of lying bastards that are still advertising for

I've said it here before....I dont care wat you think yur earning today .....or wen times wer good....but you wer always on minimum wage .....

I agree about the cash work and Freenow..was thinking about this yesterday.This could be an opportunity for working drivers to unite and turn off the app for a few months.Some big pubs are still cash only and they were jammed before the lockdown.There is a chance here to retrain the passengers to carry cash again.
Just to add the reason pubs and restaurants were/are cash only was to ensure they didn't go over the threshold for government Covid support.The passengers can get cash they just need to be encouraged.

It's been on the go a long time. Mostly youngsters use it, but some big people too. Don't think there's a catch, which you would be thinking there would be for that price. Can't remember if you are tied into a contract. Don't think you are though. I just think you can't carry over unused credit to the following month

It used to be unlimited everything.... there's another called GoMo. Ten a month it used to be. I joined about a year ago. They were advertising that they were an EIR service provider. It turned out they weren't. It was working fine. Never had a problem. Ended up leaving in the end. I just stuck to my regular plan because I was afraid of them maybe going bust out of the blue and leaving me stranded. I'd stick with the ol' reliables. They're still advertising on the way radio though, again targeting youngsters

You might be ranking up longer Jonno .The Women what run the North the way they are told to by Westminster might be told to close down the Portershops and Snooker Halls up North .Then The border counties might follow and go into Level 4 to try to stop the spread of the Ulster Virus .I think that means all non essential travel and shops shut down .Mary Lou and Pierce will be Doing a Trump and saying we had to stop the Spread of the Ulster Sickness so had to Close down the Border Counties .Reading between the lines it looks like we are no longer all in this togeather ,We are looking at more local lockdowns .Im sure the Government want Dublin open for christmas so they will try to stop the movement of people from badly infected areas .As I said earlier wait till after the finance Bill is passed .They couldnt do local lockdowns before that as they might lose a TD or Two who would vote against it if his county was to be locked down .

Aye I was listening to Leo (he's great) on Kenny a while ago. He intimated that stuff. Even a widespread increase to another level. The nordies are either on, or nearly on, their highest level but it's still only equivalent to our level 3. Probably all boils down to a childish row between the green and the orange. It's a good job they're not going North in their droves for the Xmas bottle of jemmy and the tin of USA biscuits anymore or they'd be bringing more than that home with them.

Jonno do you not speak Engerleish .What the Minister said was Self Employed can work and not lose their PUP .As Big Dommo would say that fucking youngfell of our kids announced on Facebook he was having a Gaff Party and every party goer in the country turned up .Lads were sitting at home afraid to go out with the roofsign on in case they lost the Poxwonga now they can go out and if they get two scores a day and a chance to moan on the rank they will save their sanity .
-
I'm noticing a theme on here recently where lads say they would rather work a ton of hours just to meet people everyday potentially with disease and earn fuk all.All the while making things worse for those drivers who need the money possibly more.
How could you gain sanity by working when you never had it?

It's before expenses (the 480) if it was after expenses it would be Net.
We have been screwed over.The 480 a month after expenses is not worth a fiddlers fuck.

Fcuk it markie, its 120 a week, after expenses, on top of my 250 and I get out 2 or 3 days a week for a few hours. Better than a kick in the bollox as they say.

Horsey I doubt very much you'll achieve 120 net in two or three shifts with most of the fleet working and most of the country locked down.Yer not thinking rationally IMO.You'll be doing six days for 120 net and that's how it will pan out unless they lift all restrictions.

These are the established uses for the terms.
It clearly says earn €480 gross.

I am buying a new jammer yea and when I say 2 or 3 days for a few hours thats just it. Even if I only cover insurance so be it. Its more for sanity purposes than anything. I need a new car either way.

Get a leccy leaf for 20k off.(maybe,haven't seen the terms of the deal yet)

I was never giving out about not being allowed to let me dog shit anywhere i wanted. I was talking to mr crow one day about exercising and walking me dog and you injected your usual moan into the conversation saying I hope yis pick up your dog shit. I had to explain, in a nice way, that my dog shits in a field half way up the mountains, where NOBODY goes. But you keep banging on about it anyway, twisting stuff, as you say. If you had your way farmer's would be running around after their cows with a potato sack and a shovel picking up shite because that's how crazy you are. Quick, there's someone who's happy down the road there. Run down and depress the shite out of them with yer gick.

Fcuk... the €480 is GROSS... €120 weekly, between car insurance, fn commission, fuel, and all the other expenses, you can’t drive at all, you’d be losing money
The common understanding of gross is before tax.
So its 480 after expenses then? Phew. Thought me little plan was out the window there. Nice one VD.
It's before expenses (the 480) if it was after expenses it would be Net.
We have been screwed over.The 480 a month after expenses is not worth a fiddlers fuck.
Gross=before tax,net=after tax
These are the established uses for the terms.
It clearly says earn €480 gross.
So it says 480 gross,so after you pay your fuel,insurance wear and tear and the usual shite out of it you are left with considerably less than the 480 gross you earned which will leave you with the net figure which goes into your phoca,why do you think you trouser 480 if it's gross 480 you're allowed earn?
-
It says earn 480 gross.The accepted meaning of this is pre tax.
-
Self-Employed workers, including those who work in arts/entertainment, taxi drivers and others, receiving the #Covid19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment are now able to earn €480 per month and retain their full PUP
Definition of earnings: Earnings are the amount of profit that a company produces during a specific period.
Gross earnings = gross income = pre-tax income
-
When your finished this high pissing contest .You wont be earning fuck all we will be back in lockdown by Halloween .Its all kicking off in GB Wales just banned Dirty English ,Jocks and Nordies from entering the country .The only thing we can do is Lockdown 2 return of the Beast along with Norn Eireann .If we dont do an all Irealand solution we might as well all give up this crap and go to the pub .

WHERE IS THE 480 GOING TO COME FROM NOW........The Cabinet has agreed a ban on all household visits nationwide from tomorrow night, except on compassionate grounds and for essential reasons, such as childcare.
-
The Cabinet has signed off level four restrictions for Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal and have agreed a ban on household visits from Thursday night - except on compassionate grounds and essential reasons such as childcare.
This means a ban on household visits, weddings reduced to six people and the closures of hairdressers and barbers. People will only be allowed travel 5km from their home.
Pubs and restaurants will only be permitted to give delivery and takeaway service.
At a meeting this evening, ministers also agreed to ban all household visits nationwide.

Whats gas is,the government trying to pretend they done something for taxi drivers.firs they tell yis you can go out and make 480 a month ( into an environment where there is no work )then they take away any hope you had of making any money by stopping house visits.all you can do is laugh
-
Daly look at it from their point of view.Most taxi drivers are earning very little according to their returns.So they should be happy to sit on their arses for 250 a week.In fact I was saving 200 when I was on 350.
Years of suspected under declaring has put us in a position where we can't really ask for anything special.
Separately I don't really get the lads saying just work and claim you'll never be caught.If yer gonna have that attitude why bother paying for taxi insurance?.Why pay for petrol?Just drive off what's the worst that could happen.

Of course you will be caught, there are cnuts out there in taxis (without Roof Signs) working , the NTA would probably need proof in the form of a receipt to hammer these cnuts, or better still they might just knock on FN's door and ask for the working cabs list and pass this on to revenue
-
They lads with no roofies probably don't realise that their registration plate on the app is enough identify them.I've seen them in the bus lane with no roofie.What's the point.Maybe now with the 480 a month thing there will be no problems blending in.They can leave their signs on again.
Although they're more likely to be reported by their fellow drivers.

I got paid the full grand yesterday.It took about 3 weeks.
Put down PPE purchased,safety screen,and cleaning products,insurance premium for the month you went back,a few weeks diesel,credit card terminal,any repairs to get your car back up working,any fees you had to pay like suitability,NCT etc,psv license fee.
The idea is to claim for more than the grand,so even if some of the items are disallowed,you still get the full whack.

A little story about applying for grants or bursaries . A few years ago I was Chairman of my local Summer Project .The Irish youth Council recieved a load of coin off the government that was collected through the Criminal assetts board to distribute among youth groups .Summer projects did not meet the criteria as they were not full time youth services .But That didnt stop me .I looked up the patrons of the Irish Youth Council and saw Joe Dolan and Bill Penny apples were on the board so I got an application then Filled it in in Irish then Dropped it in to Renaults HQ on the Kylemore Road for the Att of Irish Youth Foundation care of Apples .Now what I was depending on was Apples would send that over in a Renault Envelope with a cover note and that someone in the Council office that could read Irish would be asked to approve it .It might be the only time they ever had the power to do this so were more likely to pass it or else somebody who could not read Irish might see the Renault Envelope and think Bill was recomending us .We got funding .Moral of the story always apply you can rely on somebody below your pay grade to approve it if they dont and you think you should of gotten it you can appeal .

I rang yesterday before applying to get info on that. I might as well have been talking to the back of me bollix. "I'll pass that on to the relevant person and you'll get a call before the day is out" Guess what....
Any filled out the online application. I'm watching my MyWelfare inbox like a hawk. If I see a quare number ringing I'll know there's a problem. That was a grant to help get you restarted. There shouldn't be a problem. I don't remember seeing anything in the fine print about returning it if the whole kip nosedived again. We'll see what happens.....

In simple terms, you mean when the meter clocks 480, thats it?

480 is after expenses, so when your meter hits 480 plus all business expenses for the month, approximately 900 for the month.
-
that is assuming you are owner driver, if you are renting obviously it will much more than 900 turnover for the month.

I can hit €1,700 for the 4 week period and still get the puppy.

how the fukk are yos saying earn up to 900? Do yis not know what gross means ?-it means 480 in total . How the fukk are yis making 900 out of that ?
-
the 480 is your profit for the month dalyer not your fares.
here is the approximate breakdown for owner drivers dalyer:
fares for the month = 900
minus business expenses for the month:
fuel for the month = 135
insurance = 200
all other expensse = 85 ( this is roughly 1000 for the year to cover nct, suitability, repairs etc)
fares minus business expenses should not be more than 480(your profit for the month)
-
It has to be "earnings", which is what you keep for yourself, and are taxed on. That is what you have left after what you spent to get that amount has been deducted.
-
thats it in a nutshell bob

Keep a running total and soon as you have 480 cash in your arse pocket (Inc daily expenses), go home and park the yoke up- in the driveway/street/ the flats underground car park- for the rest of the month/4 week period... whichever they say it is. Pathcal will take his chunk next October. Or whoever is the minister for coin by then.

480 pm averages €110.79 pw over 52 weeks. Surely there'd be no carrying of anything over to the next month. Unless one cannot make 117 pw in Dublin?

I think your all getting ahead of yourselfs.even before the latest budget measure to allow to work,there was nothing like 120 a week to be made.now that you will be ALL out chasing your tails,it will actually end up costing you money on deisel/ petrol and you wont make it up.I actually stopped working altogether about a month ago,cause it was a waste of time.I shudder to think what it would be like now that you will ALL be back

That's it, yis should all stay at home, and leave the crumbs for the pensioners who can't claim PUP.
YES Robbie Reps asked for a break for drivers meaning that the few lads that were making coin are now fucked .

Has anybody applied for and received the Enterprise Support Grant?
Anything to watch out for and how long does it take to process?
Thanks
I got paid the full grand yesterday.It took about 3 weeks.
Put down PPE purchased,safety screen,and cleaning products,insurance premium for the month you went back,a few weeks diesel,credit card terminal,any repairs to get your car back up working,any fees you had to pay like suitability,NCT etc,psv license fee.
The idea is to claim for more than the grand,so even if some of the items are disallowed,you still get the full whack.
Thanks Vandriver

Yes I got it,although strictly speaking I wasn't entitled to it,apparently

I’d imagine most drivers monthly deductibles would be €1000 a month before fn commission, so you’d be able to do a tad over €1500 monthly on the app and any bit of cash work that you can find... it’s better than sweet fcuk all
The figure I had in my head was about 1200 a month or 300 a week, the true figure is most likely somewhere in the middle.
FN are not going to be too pleased at this because now Taxi drivers will dump FN jobs in an instant fer a Cash street hail, as Cash now really is King !

Ken I give you the same advise I gave Dollymount .YES apply for it where did it say there was a time served requirement before you could claim .Put in a claim and allow some civil servant make the decision then if you dont get it appeal .Its up to somebody below our pay grade to decide .Then if or when you get it reapply for the Covid Coin because you aint seen the worst of this Economic meltdown .There is a post on here with 160 pages plus thats the Killer Brexit with or without a deal will rob the lining out of your pocket .

I have to say Ken,I took the erms advice,and it was that advice which encouraged me to go for it.I probably would not have applied for it otherwise

We get a deal France agree to let British Fish be sold in Europe and Britain agrees to let European boats fish in SOME of its waters probably restrict entry to a few fishing grounds Win /Win for everybody .Brits will be told you subsidies businesses to compete against EU business that Europe will get really really annoyed and stamp their feet .They will agree if that happens neither the Eu courts or British courts will rule on it they will use the World Trade Organization .The truth is this is not a trade issue its Political the EU want to be seen to be bullies so no other Country will try to leave as they all have their part to play in paying the EU budget .The big Issue is the Working Class Brit who thought leaving the EU was going to bring great Jobs and opportunities is going to be rightly pissed off when he is offered to have his National Insurance number tattooed on his forehead so the Girl in the Dole can recognize him .Britain and the USA are both Briken unjust societies I wouldnt be surprised if both of them end up calling their armies on to the Streets to shoot dead their own Citizens and Im not being flippant I really believe that is possible .

Heather Humpries statement to the dail 16/10/2020
We have made changes to the PUP so that the self-employed can earn up to €480 per month without it impacting that payment. That change is effective immediately, so people on the PUP can avail of it today. I can confirm that the €480 relates to income from self-employment before tax but after business expenses have been deducted. We are also providing an additional €12 million for the €1,000 enterprise support grant for the self-employed. My Department is here to support and assist anybody who has lost his or her job. We have secured an additional €10 million on top of the €112 million secured as part of the July stimulus package to extend and enhance our suite of employment support measures and I will work alongside the Minister with responsibility for further and higher education, Deputy Harris, in that regard.

That's great n'all but the very same day, the Govt told everyone to work from home and not to visit other households. Who's (officially) gonna want a taxi now?
And, btw, NPHET are pushing for a 6 week lockdown. The 6 weeks is prob a negotiating tactic and maybe 3 weeks is the 'settlement'. Still, can't see anybody wanting a taxi anytime soon.
-
Now that there is no Covid payment to sign off of I reckon we should be able to apply for the 1000 grant even of we have no intention of getting back on the road just yet.

You'd be surprised how much you save by not working.Taxi insurance is 40/50 a week minimum.
Lads will end up in a situation where the Covid payment barely covers the cost of running the taxi and then they will be working for €50 a shift.So they'd be no better off unless they work 7 days for 12/13 hours a day.That's not exaggerating but that's all there will be available until all restrictions are lifted.
Don't forget there are still loads of lads who don't yet know they can legally work and claim.It will take a few weeks before they all get back out there.Only a small section of divers look in here.
Many drivers will put all their hopes into Christmas but I'd say the work xmas party plans are cancelled by now.A bit bleak really.
DMG is gonna have something to say...

There's nothing to apply for,just earn €480 after expenses,in a 4 week period,and still collect the puppy.

42 you done Ok in Cork but Dublin is Fucked .Offices closed,pubs closed .No sport or tourists wait for lockdown 4.2 with lads back on the empty streets doubt to many will turn over 300 a week before costs .The Government dont give either of their Fucks how much you earn and claim the Puppy Coin .The Limit is to stop full time Self employed working on sites .Tradesmen getting 300 a day as self employed then taking the piss by claiming the Puppy money .The 480 limit gives them a cut off .As you were all told by the Rodent you could always work and claim as long as your income was significantly impacted now they have closed off that loophole by limiting the amount you can earn .This change applies TO ALL SELF EMPLOYED WORKERS it is not designed just for taxi drivers .
-
so can you sign back up for the covid payment and earn 480 a month, or is the 480 just for the lads who never came off the covid payment?
-
I came off before 16 weeks were do I stand?
-
I came off before 16 weeks were do I stand?
.It dosent apply to you your not on the PUP but you make a good point .I would think the reason they say you have 16 weeks is to prevent people who returned to work from signing back on and working .Im sure their assumption was that those who returned already were making coin .
-
It is totally unfair if I cant get the 480 but someone can who chose to stay on the pup a few weeks longer than I did.

In Dublin work is was and will remain fucked, down about 70% with only about 20% of the fleet active .You risked nothing as Cork Medical staff were hardly impacted neither were young Cork Students .There are probably quarter of a Million Dubs working from Home not using taxies the same amount not going out to Club.Pub or restaurants at weekends .This shite that Medical Staff risked their health or taxi drivers risked their health is TV bullshit I cant remember more than 6 or 8 cases of medical staff dyeing from contracting this disease probably about the same figure as dead plumbers or Mechanics .Korky if we go and Politically I dont think we will Level 5 you will get a taste of what the business has been like in Dublin and other parts of the country for the last 6 months .
The health impact on most drivers health wont be from ferrying HSE workers to and from their jobs it will be from stress .Wondering where the Mortgage payment or
car payment or food money is coming from .One part of your post is correct STAY SAFE running around like a headless chickens bragging about how much we earned or what Jewelery Free Now present us with every week is little more than giving a running commentary on your High pissing contest achievements .Lads being told they are lazy cunts because they cant get enough non existing work and dont complain are every bit as worthy of Appreciation for playing their part and staying home and STAYING SAFE .

Merc there wont be as many drivers back on the road as you think .Reactivate your insurance ,fuel going to run you at least 50 a week extra doubt you will pick up a ton especially if we go level 4+ Looks like to save Leos Political Life after he attacked Dr Houlihan before numbers Doubled in a week we Will go 4+not 5 that will close down all non essential shops the knock on effect is wholesalers and distributors lay off more staff .There is no work out there now and there will be even less by next Friday .Stay put dont reactivate your insurance wait and and when your finished waiting wait another bit .

......Korky you havent a fucking bulls notion ....
That is not fair comment John M, both myself and Korky worked our bollocks off during this pandemic, I still can not afford to take a week off since last April. The work all summer was slow and hard and we had to chase work constantly. Myself and Korky shared a lot of information of how to achieve the best returns, much of which was posted on here but it was not easy work, there were many nights that saw myself and Korky feeding the birds the left-overs of our dinner alone on the Grand Parade Taxi rank whilst waiting on a FN job to pop up from anywhere in the city, but between us we worked it out and we did ok but it wasn't Fookin easy !

?? What is that supposed to mean ?

Eh Ken much of the country are on a Covid subsidy from their employer and the rest are on the Covid payment.Even the students that were getting 350 are on 200 now.So there just isn't as much disposable income as there was three months ago.
Plus the unaffected ones with good jobs can't spend their cash during lockdown.

Ken the population of cork is 400K Dublin is 1.2 million so three times more than cork .We have 6 times more licenced taxies than Cork thats = to double the amount of taxies per populous .So straight away you start with twice as many potential customers per cab than we do in Dublin .Now break down who the Dublin based customers are .A lot of Office workers who had taxi accounts as their companies did not offer car parking and street parking is all but banned they are now working from home .Tourists now non existent the knock on effect the City Center (Temple Bar) is closed up that means all the staff that worked late night bars and restaurants who took taxies home as there was no busses are gone .Dublin had at least two or more major events per week from Concerts to Sporting events ,most Dublin drivers depended on about thirty major events per year to make up their coin .From all Irelands ,Rugby Internationals ,Gigs in Croker or the Aviva .On these occasions drivers with Dublin and another licence flocked to the Capital to feed on the bounty but now that bounty has gone and bordering counties are fucked so we are seeing drivers who worked their second area like Louth ,Meath or Kildare now working the empty streets of Dublin .Cork didnt suffer the same impact on work availability as Dublin did even Students in Cork are different than Dublin Students .There was plenty of low wage student work available in Dublin to fuel Nights out runs to the drug dealers thats all gone as I said the amount of work is down about 70% with 20% of the fleet on the roads and I doubt many are making minimum wage .Are you trying to tell me that Cork was impacted that badly ?

I agree, I am working but if I was still on the covid payment I would wait it out another while. I gave my mechanic 480 euro last week, then you have all the other costs, the 480 a month wont make up for all your other costs. I dont even bother working friday and saturday nights now, im not hanging around for 4 or 5 hours for 40 euro fcuk that. There will be vaccines in the new year and things will slowly get back to normal, we will be grand.

A lot of lads are caught by Mortgages ,car Loans ,Credit Cards ,Credit Unions Insurance ,Tax Bills .I posted on most of these but here is the advice .Prioritize ,Your Mortgage is the most important pay it if you can if you cant talk to your bank .It will cost you in the long run but see if you can go interest only for a while .The reason for this is as long as the interest is being paid the loan is a performing loan. Paying less than your full amount without the banks permission is the exact same as paying nothing .Talk to your Bank .Credit Cards are Unsecured if you need to default then Credit Cards are your best option .If you are not working and dont need the Car for family use then take Mercs advise cancel the insurance and park up .Your Credit union like your Mortgage will probably do an interest only deal for a few months for the same reason as long as they get the interest the loan is performing .Your tax bill can be warehoused .Car loans are up for a bit of debate .Your Loan is probably funded by the Car maker like VW or Scoda or Renault Credit they dont want the car back especially a Taxi they will do you a deal either on interest or repayment break if your in a bad place then stop paying the Car loan its unlikely the Courts will allow the lender repossess it as its the tool of your trade they will possibly order the lender to first offer to restructure .

Ken the population of cork is 400K Dublin is 1.2 million so three times more than cork .We have 6 times more licenced taxies than Cork thats = to double the amount of taxies per populous .So straight away you start with twice as many potential customers per cab than we do in Dublin .Now break down who the Dublin based customers are .A lot of Office workers who had taxi accounts as their companies did not offer car parking and street parking is all but banned they are now working from home .Tourists now non existent the knock on effect the City Center (Temple Bar) is closed up that means all the staff that worked late night bars and restaurants who took taxies home as there was no busses are gone .Dublin had at least two or more major events per week from Concerts to Sporting events ,most Dublin drivers depended on about thirty major events per year to make up their coin .From all Irelands ,Rugby Internationals ,Gigs in Croker or the Aviva .On these occasions drivers with Dublin and another licence flocked to the Capital to feed on the bounty but now that bounty has gone and bordering counties are fucked so we are seeing drivers who worked their second area like Louth ,Meath or Kildare now working the empty streets of Dublin .Cork didnt suffer the same impact on work availability as Dublin did even Students in Cork are different than Dublin Students .There was plenty of low wage student work available in Dublin to fuel Nights out runs to the drug dealers thats all gone as I said the amount of work is down about 70% with 20% of the fleet on the roads and I doubt many are making minimum wage .Are you trying to tell me that Cork was impacted that badly ?
Ok yeh we have also to contend with rent a Bike ,Go car ,Luas,Dart ,Irish Rail .Dublin Bus .
Fer a fella who did not work during the first phase of the pandemic, you sure seem to know or seem to know a lot about it ?

Judge you Ken what the fuck do you want another medal you went to work because there was work simple as .The only ones passing judgement are the sanctimonious fucks who think turning up to work makes then some sort of Hero .

I think thats a good summery by John M...on the effects of Covid to Dublin taxi drivers..
-
You worked it out of boredom not bravery Ken....and bragged about how much you were cleaning up with Gold medal screenshots included,we were asked not to work and paid not to work but of late you're posting how dire it is at the mo....Dublin has been like that since March but you couldn't help yourself rubbin it into the faces of drivers who have experienced exactly what John describes for 7 months now.....i could feel the excitement of your tone in your posts!!
-
Yea ken, rubbing people's noses in it and bragging about getting a weeks wages in 35 hours, complete, as hal says, with screen shots was never gonna go down well with dublin drivers who've been all their bollox both financially and mentally for 7 months now. Then to top it off you're acting like you're some kind of fcuking hero going to work? Hero me bollix.

I only ever posted the truth and backed it up with screenshots during this pandemic.
Dublin city and Cork city are pro-rata, Dublin city has about 10 times the population
and about 10 times the Taxi fleet, we were all under the same Lock down regulations fer many months.
Maybe yiz should have taken a shot at working ?

Your maths is wrong the population of Dublin isint 4 Million .Anyhoo .Lets get to the basics .If a Driver gave up the covid coin and got the Grand he thought he was doing well but now that reality has raised its ugly head Second lockdown the Lad who went all in now finds himself without a hand to play but the lads who waited can now claim the Covid coin and toil if they can find toil deliver parcels or shopping and still claim Covid coin .Where the lads who cashed in cant they might get back on the Covid Coin but cannot take on any casual work .Now do the Maths who is going to be better off the Lads who waited or the lads who worked gave up 350 then paid 15% commission on top of Tax and PRSI and social charge on their earnings .Imagine paying over 500 a week to go to work .A whore wouldnt pay that to rent a room in a brothel in Amsterdam where there is plenty of Whoring work available .

......Korky you havent a fucking bulls notion ....
That is not fair comment John M, both myself and Korky worked our bollocks off during this pandemic, I still can not afford to take a week off since last April. The work all summer was slow and hard and we had to chase work constantly. Myself and Korky shared a lot of information of how to achieve the best returns, much of which was posted on here but it was not easy work, there were many nights that saw myself and Korky feeding the birds the left-overs of our dinner alone on the Grand Parade Taxi rank whilst waiting on a FN job to pop up from anywhere in the city, but between us we worked it out and we did ok but it wasn't Fookin easy !
I went back to work after 10 weeks
Some weeks were great others were crap I did 7 days
I got 900 one week and 480 a week after
It was hard to gauge and all over the place
I never got priority once and free now seemed to be hit and miss
I even downloaded uber again got 5 jobs a week around town
The week I just done was crap I had worst sat nite ever last nite its ridiculous what I wot last nite
If I could stay home I would as its gonna get worse these more drivers out this week
In fairness to Ken and korky they said it the way it was down there

It depends what you mean by being better off, financially or mentally. mentally you are better off out working meeting people, having a routine etc. financially you might be better off on the covid payment short term but if you are off for a year, are you going to loose your regular customers? at least we have the option of working unlike the bar staff, hotel and cafe workers etc.

I remember what it was like during the last depression,i only worked Thurs,Fri and Sat back then...this time is a completely different monster....people still have money cos a lot are still in full employment working from home but nowhere to go and spend it which in itself creates a recession which all of those in the gig economy are(us) are at the bottom of the pile....my missus is in the logistics biz and while it quietened down a bit it's starting to crank up again...i also saw in another article that DPD are looking to recruit 700 additional staff.

Fungi is missing and all that you people want to talk about is the impending financial hardship and associated mental issues. Tut. Tut.

Your maths is wrong the population of Dublin isint 4 Million .......
My math is not wrong, after a bit of googling the population of Dublin city is about 1,250,000.
The population of Cork city is about 190,000, that puts Dublin at about 6.5 times our population.
As fer licensed taxies ye have about 11,000 while we have about 1,800 which is again about
6.5 times more in Dublin than down here.
So on a pro-rata scale ye have about the same amount of taxies per person as Cork.
And by the way every pub, club and restaurant in Cork were also closed too fer many months,
as was every live or sporting event, it was a ghost town down here too fer many months.

Dont be messing around with the figures to make your false case ..the population of Cork for which you own a licence is ..At the last census in 2016, Cork city stood at 125,657. The population of the entire county is 542,868 making it the state's second-most populous county and the third-most populous county on the island of Ireland.My figures are more accurate even though I underestimated the population by about 150,000.

Your figures are wrong, have a google off Cork city population 2020, it's at 190K.
Cork county does not count as I don't work there.
