Yes thats true

I've posted on this already, got me daisies re-fitted last week and the NTA guy says they have the power to go into FN or any other dispatcher and get info on drivers.

They can also if they wish pass this on to revenue , and I would think in respect of the present Covid payments they do.

Dispatch firms are not currently required to record destinations or fares charged, SB... hence the information available from most traditional dispatch firms would be of limited use to Revenue in conducting driver audits. Conversely, drivers who work for app based firms such as Free Now can get an annual statement showing all income from cash and account jobs dispatched by the firm... obviously Revenue will know that and expect to see the same in the event of an audit.

In any event, none of that has any relevance in facilitating contact tracking. Restricting all taxis to private hire may make sense in that regard and could require amended regulations requiring dispatch firms to record the purpose of the journey and the destination. Such enhancements may indirectly assist Revenue in enforcement of compliance depending on definitions specified.

Ah yes but the magic list would snooker any  drivers claiming the 350 and working the app .

Monies transferred to driver's personal bank accounts from the likes of Ebbs et all should be sufficient for revenue.

You would want to be some Fool to be claiming the Covid 350 and working.

I had a taxi driver in my cab last week who told me that his base was closed but he still worked away on the app and streets and claiming but then the Gov cut off his Covid 350 payments and he rang them up to inquire why and was told that he was observed Working.
Granted he was pissed while in my cab and he was ranting about data protection and all that and how they can't cut him off, Etc..
I didn't have the heart to tell him to be expecting a knock at the door some day soon from revenue looking fer their dosh back and if ya don't pay it back then you ain't getting a tax clearance cert fer next year. Fookin Greedy Fool !

......I hate bringing taxi drivers, having to listen to their knowall dung.

I don't mind bringing Taxi drivers, to be fair they are good tippers, but the odd time I get a Taxi myself or have another driver in the cab, what I do find is that they haven't a Fookin clue about their own business.

Not so much that, what I find is they haven't a clue about NTA rules,
or how the FN app works ??
