Which is best to use, I have my accounts added up but now am looking for the accounts to be submitted to revenue.
if the bookkeeper is half the price of the accountant, should I give him/her the business or are you better off using an accountant?

Sounds like you're doin the bookkeeping yourself Italia 90,
I use an accountant cos she's up to date with revenue with what can be claimed and also using the credits that my wife doesn't use.

I'm paying nearly 3 times more a year than most drivers I speak to. Probably because I do my own accounts. I can't see how they're getting away paying 600 a year unless their fabricating receipts or spending an extra 10k a year on made up expenses. Drivng an efficient Toyota that's paid for and never breaks down is actually a pain come the tax bill time. I still think I'm spending less time in the cab overall compared to having finance on a newer motor but sometimes I wonder what lies the real Accountants are putting through.
-
Don't get it myself MFH,my bill this year is €2200(inclusive of prelim tax)...i don't have anything to write off for the 2017 tax year and the missus practically worked full time last year.
-
Mine was close to that Hal.I suspect some are claiming their spouse's tax credits but don't realise it because the accountant does it for them.
-
Maybe we're too honest MFH....although a lot of taxi men don't seem to know what prelim tax is either.
-
600 seems high, 2200 is crazy talk.
-
What is this preliminary tax you speak of
-
2200 WTF,
Never,
How did you add that up.
Or why did you add that up.
-
What is this preliminary tax you speak of
Paying next years tax on the basis of the current year liability,ye don't have to pay the full amount..if for instance ye might know that you'll be writing off an amount..ie: car loan etc.
-
Setting up a Direct debit with Revenue takes the pressure off,
Also eliminate preliminary tax.
-
600 seems high, 2200 is crazy talk.
It's 500 minimum for prsi,so how would 600 seem high?

he is talking tax which is added on after prsi and social charge .If you are renting your tax liability should be close to zero .
-
I'm renting,and my tax liability certainly won't be zero.
-
Sure you only work two hours per week John,
We're talking total liability here inclusive of PRSI which as vandriver points out is €500.
-

ah yeah, do suttim similar. Have revenue set up as a bill through online banking. I throw a few quid in every month to take the sting outta the final payment.
-
Prsi is AT LEAST €500.
On incomes over 12.5 k,it's 4%.
On €20,000 declared income ,without using spouses tax credits
Tax 1,200
Prsi 800
USC 237
Total €2,237
Even with my renter's huge overheads,that's only €800 a week of gross takings.
I think some of you lads might be in for a bit of a shock if you are audited.
-
I think most on here are partimers....apart from Ken....he's pullin trummers every night of the week!!

So how many days is full time
And how hours is full time,
I know for a fact lads are working 12 / 14 hours shifts,
How does the Revenue know what hours are you doing.
-
12-14 hr shifts?....they'll be rewarded in heaven!!
-
When you're new ye tend to do mad hours thinking that it's great anall.. eventually the cunts burn you out. There's only so much shite a man can listen to. 12 years a slave this year and I've turned into something the opposite of what I was when I started.. no better or worse, just wiser. All said I still enjoy it. No job is plain sailing, they all have their pitfalls.

Oh Thanks Hal fer hanging me out to de Taxman !
Like Gerry and John posted, after almost Ten years in the game the romance is starting to wear off, this was defo my worst year ever in the Taxi game, I didn't work the Snow in March fer fear of losing the NCB on my insurance and as an ex-ginger I did Fook all during the summer heatwave cos the heat was just killing me and the end result was that when Mr Taxman, Mr Insurance man, service, tyres, NCT, Suitability and Motor tax were all due at about year end I was short 3K of the 4.5K bill, luckily I did have savings to draw upon but that needs to be repaid, looking forward to a hopefully Bumper last Quarter !
-
No need for holding companies on off-shore islands here....
-
would you not just turn the air conditioning on during the very hot days belker? i don't even have air conditioning and i was able to work away no problem during the heat wave.
As regards the accountant v bookkeeper issue, i think i will go with the accountant, you may pay 100 euro to a bookkeeper but the accountant could save you more in the long run.
-
I need to set up a foreign bank accounts or one of them offshore vehicle things I hear the suits talking about..
If I can't I'm gonna be cutting my ties with the app work.No other way around it.
It seems counterproductive that the more efficient we make our business the more tax we're paying.Loadabollix..
-
Do yis reckon the immigrant lads set up their Mytaxi money to be wired straight out of the state where it can't be traced?

Seriously Ken.....the only reason we know you earn trummers...is because you tell us!!
-
The only reason we know how much a trummer is worth because Belker told us..

That's inclusive of prelim tax Tony....which a lot of drivers don't seem to pay....or know about...even if you were just paying PRSI for the current year...you'd be paying €500.

Never paid or asked about it hal
-
Crazy stuff altogether.
-
Tony when the auditors come around for us we'll be using your tax return as a bargaining chip for some leniency.Same with Belker and Sclass... it will be like the fukking Pananama papers..
-
Say nothing....and then say it again.
-
Inanyways I'll think I'll work this weekend, it should cover me tax bill.
-
Citywest will be hopping....plenty of nice journeys to Killiney and Dalkey....not.

You'll always get a run from Dalkey.......the app capital of the southside.

How would that make a difference to their liability?

-
It would be traced from the source..ie..Mytaxi,
Would a bank account outside of the state be acceptable to Mytaxi or would they be obliged to inform the relative authorities?

If you've an account in Norn Iron, Hal...watch out..........the clocks will have to be readjusted before making a lodgement etc...Arlene seems set on her not going along with the farmers hour being scrapped in the EU.
-
It's black or white with Arlene.
-
^^^^^^Sorry meant to quote Vandriver...... But a driver might say they don't work for any app companies.We're assuming that revenue will approach MT at some stage but they might not bother and rely on our own honesty/stupidity to hang ourselves.
-
Revenue arn't stupid....and anyone who underestimates their ability should question their own sanity.....an accountant can only work on figures supplied by an individual....i'm sure there's folk out there who think they're clever.

How much did ye make last week Marky...tell us ffs!!

In my spare time over the next week or two,I'll put together a 'how self assessment tax works ' in layman's terms which might help someone on here.
-
Taking financial advice from a Taxi driver is no different than taking Stock Market advice from a Shoeshine boy!
-
I won't be giving any advice at all(except what I've preached all along...pay your fucking taxes and sleep easy) just an informative guide to a subject many seem to find hard to get there head around .
You can take it or leave it.

It would be a great help for those that struggle with the whole rigmarole

Here Vandriver serious question...if ya owned yer own heap and plate and had a 1600 insurance policy(like me) would ya still be working like a mad thing and would ya be happy covering every last app job even though a significant portion of your income would be in the higher tax bracket?.Would the hunger dissipate after yer first big tax bill.I think mine would.

Zero if your profit is below €5,000.50

Id say I work more hours than most of you,but probably not as many as some of you think.
If my expenses were say two ton instead of four,I would probably work less,,but not by much.

What is this preliminary tax you speak of
Paying next years tax on the basis of the current year liability,ye don't have to pay the full amount..if for instance ye might know that you'll be writing off an amount..ie: car loan etc.
Rate is 90% of actual liability or 100% of preceding year's liability. With proper tax planning your accounts will be drawn up before the previous year's return is submitted.
-
I believe even on less than 5k you can make a voluntary contribution to keep up your state pension entitlements.
-
You can if you need to.

Yeah Tony... The Pay Related Social Insurance company!!

I know that PRSI means Pay Related Social Insurance, but what that actually means I have no idea !

Considering the current Govt is planning to bring in compulsory pension schemes, I'd say the Govt is in the same boat. ::fds
I reckon anyone under 50 can forget about the State pension (in any form).

They squandered the NPRF and now have no rainy day fund.
-
They have a bank bailout fund though... just to silence doubts about their capacity to learn from mistakes.
-
I just got my tax returns done.up 650 euro,because no claim left on the car .he had claimed the allownce on the previous few years
-
.wrong thread sorry
-
No bodder.
-
I never understood why,a few years ago,the rate of PRSI doubled for self employed,and not one voice raised in protest. Considering we are not entitled to welfare befefits,this is a fukking outrage
