There is a proposal before the EU that ALL commercial vehicles be fitted with VLDs which are effectively tacos for delivery vans .

Yes I think this will happen to Taxi's eventually, if their is more than 1 driver each will have their own code/card or whatever.
Then they will take readings from our meters each year at Renewal time and give the info to our beloved Tax Man.
All yous cnuts out there making illegal returns beware

Meter readings have already been held to have no relevance to takings/earnings.

In less that 10 years there will be no cash just card transactions for everything subtract what you spend from what you earned if it dosent add up them taxmanbot will send you an email and they will carry out an electronic audit .

I think we need to go into revenue and cut a deal before it's too late...As a motorbike courier we got a special deal where 55% of our gross income was written off .Whether you drove a Harley or a moped.It still exists AFAIK.
Isnt a speedometer recording our miles/kilo anyway?

Yeah but I travel up and down to Kerry every weekend to see me long lost Auntie Myrtle ( still trying to find the cnut)

... so, you have apportioned a significant % of your motor expense and relevant wear and tear allowance to private use. A lot of drivers may not be as diligent.

How hard is it .I have 35 euro of a float at the end of the night I add up whats in my pocket subtract 35 thats my earnings if I spett money on fuel I add that back in .Then at the end of the week I add up my 3 days earnings and subtract my fuel or other costs At the end of the month I have a monthly balance add up 12 of them I have a yearly sum then I add up other one off costs like repairs service cleaning subtract that from my earnings leaves me a total for the year I have no car depreciation or other deductions .I go to my saccountant with those figures and he goes through them with his professional eye .He logs on to Ross on line enter the figures they give me afigure for what I owe and I pay it .
To hear most of you going on you would think you are dealing in complexed derivitives .Earn your crust pay your tax .

Erm it's alright for you Skoda drivers with yer high maintenance costs but some of us spend almost zero on our Toyotas.When I'm driving an electric yoke my maintenance will be negligible but my card work will be almost 99% of takings.Might as well get a real job FFS.
-
My MKII Octavia wasn't particularly expensive to maintain, €2,899 for the 5 years I owned it as a taxi.

Its a big penny mind your head .

I haven't done the sums but my yoke probably cost me about €1399.76 over the same period..probably.
^^^^^I knew this was coming John.It will be ok for me.The lads taking 2000 a week will feel it much more.

Dont be surprised if the tracker in the vans is to monitor deliveries by E bay or other on line retailers .National post offices losing out to man with van .

Interesting question - not much consistency year on year:
y/e 30 Apr 2014 = €9 (3.3 months trading)
y/e 30 Apr 2015 = €12
y/e 30 Apr 2016 = €36
y/e 30 Apr 2017 = €6
y/e 30 Apr 2018 = €51
01 May 2018 - 23 Jan 2019 = €30*
Total for 5 years = €144 ... includes all expense on interior cleaning and exterior washing.
*includes two €10 car washes - immediately before door sticker removal and immediately after the same i.e. expense incurred on disposal.
