Covid payments get your covid payments

[silverbullet]

Id be surprised if they have been in touch with FN,but I suppose they could have been

Cant rememebr now, but did we give our PPS numbers to Hailo/Mytaxi/FN when we started ?

I would imagine that is the only way they would do a cross check

if the Gardai can do a financial background on you, Revenue - of which the Gardai are a branch - certainly can.

I'd say there is a lot of worried/sweaty drivers out there so

Thats exactly the job my mate does,when a STR  is generated ( suspicious transaction report) its his job to look at bank accounts,and other things.he never tells me much about about it,but he did tell me there are a huge amount of taxi drivers under investigation at the moment,and it is not just to do with covid payments either

Not exactly, investigating STRs has more to do with money laundering and criminal activity

My Sister-in-law works for Dept of Finance (i think), anyways part of her job is to investigate suspected money laundering.

She visits garages,bookies etc and asks/demands to see the books , cant get away with a lot of cash these days you know.

A group of cream crackers in balinasloe were apperently involved in a covid scam worth 5 million.I dont how they did it,but it seems a large number of them were claiming up to 5 or 6 covid payments a week each using false documentation,names etc

Luckily we don't charge VAT, as this is the main reason for an audit.
Lifestyle is what will get you snookered if you misbehave as a taxi driver
Taxi drivers believe they earn good money because of the takings, when you deduct what's paid out the pittance that's left doesn't really interest revenue

Someone asked if Freenow have our PPS numbers and I can't remember.But the NTA definitely have it so welfare/revenue could easily cross-reference if they were bothered.

How would the NTA know if guys claiming the Covid Rent were out working ?

I saw them taking a taxi drivers details, last week in Eyre Square.

Welfare had spotters out and about with the Garda checkpoints during the lockdown.All they'd be doing is cross-referencing one list with another.

If welfare walked into Freenow tomorrow they would willingly handover any info without a warrant.They're hardly gonna tell them to piss off.It's a poxy app company not the Mafia.

Anyway I wouldn't be bothered if I was caught just plead ignorance and they'd make you pay it back over a few years.

Would you get a tax Clearance Cert?

[mercenary for hire]

Not sure Lizzzy it would probably have to go to court or something.

Which reminds me I wonder how many app drivers won't be able to pay their tax bill this year?Some Gold medal heroes would be owning 5/6/7k for 2019.

How would the NTA know if guys claiming the Covid Rent were out working ?

Someone posted a SW letter on here a few weeks ago that said something like they were spotted working on city centre CCTV and claiming the 350.  And would they like to give up the 350?  It was a polite way of saying 'gotcha, ya cheating bastard'.

Think there was 39 caught in finglas alone.they should check out the northside shopping centre rank
