The free licence will be helpful id say, like lads will renew anyway and this saves them 250. pity I just paid it a few weeks ago, might be able to get it back hopefully.

Your not thinking straight 90 why would you support free licences if you got to pay it might take a few out same with scrappage .Its a competitive business why support competition ? When Big Dommo use to clean the windows in the gaffs behind the flats he didnt loan the competition his bucket a shammy .

im not supporting the free licence, im just saying it will be appreciated by the lads who avail of it. this was in reply to your post about both the free licence and the scrappage deals being useless as there is no work.

How many renters will avail of a free licence sit on the sidelines before they come back in .Who is going to give any of us credit to buy cars .Would of made more sense to extend the time you can lapse a licence from one to two years let lads get away for a year or so if they can get other work without being forced back before their plate lapsed .Might of encouraged a few out and they might of stayed out .If we get what has been suggested .Allowed work claim PUP free licences and Scrappage they will kill us with kindness .Its a reduced fleet we need not a subsidised one to continue competing for every job .

Id say youd be surprised how many drivers would go if they give the chance of a buy back.id go anyway
-
I reckon it's just the €150 or €75( for WAV's) that they're referring to which is fukall use if you've to replace your vehicle from Jan 1st 2021(those who had to replace vehicles up to Dec 31st have been given an extra year,SI No 175 of 2020)...if the 5 year licence is included that amounts to a whopping €50 per year!!
If they don't do something genuinely fiancially viable,it'll be licence holders like myself who have taken up other employment that will be able to replace vehicles...because credit won't be available to "fulltime taxi drivers"!!

“ For taxi drivers, licence renewal fees will be waived along with improvements in the scrappage scheme along with some other measures yet to be finalised. ”
That’s from RTÉ news under the 9% vat headline

How much is your licence worth ?125 is all your licence is worth only of use for the year it is paid .Thats why they say the licence has no value all it gives you is the right to renew it .
-
Well im sure when we protested here in Dublin,and in cork,we were not thinking about getting back 125 .we were talking about 5 k I think thats what it cost at the time
-
No buyback is necessary. There aren't a load of lads paying 10k to stay in the industry to potentially get the 5/6k th paid for their plates at some stage down the road.They got up to 20 years work out of their plates.Fuk them.
As for renewal fees the NTA don't get any if we're off the road.The biggest expense is the potential costs involved with passing the car out via the NCT and insurance.

Like I posted already Daly there's nothing stopping you or I taking 5/6k off the gubberment for our saloon plate then going out and buying a wheelchair taxi.This is a problem.

I think what Self employed might get is .Any self employed persomn can take up casual work on a casual basis limited to say two days a week without effecting their PUP but earnings will be taxable .Cant see how they can offer more than that without encouraging workers to give up their self employment and go on the PUP .
-
TV3 were reading something from the Sunday Times today that said self-employed will be allowed to earn €480 per month and keep PUP.Not worth the hassle for most if it's true.
Finally found it...linky...

So it's just for the minority of self employed that remain on pup? I still say that can't be right.

Yes that figure I heard is 480,not 418 .I dont know how any of us could hope toreach anything like 480 a week in the present circumstances
-
Wont matter to me,the cunts took the PUP off me
-
The link I posted says 480 per month which seems more realistic.Hopefully your info is more accurate Daly.

Per month? That's not worth two squirts of duck shite. It'll be diluted even further when the next incremental pup deduction comes along.

Laffin...480 per week plus the PUP..... rofl
Be 480 per month and as Jonno says it'll get diluted as time goes by...and Pascal and McGrath have said the 350 won't be restored.

Come on yous feckin bluffers. Get off the coin. Stop scratching your holes and sniffing your fingers and get back out there! Where's the fightin Irish spirit in yiz? Get out and join the other fukkers who are working and STILL drawing the coin as well. They'll be sorted for Santy. The place is full of them.
