Cash is gonna disappear largely for the next few months so you need every option to take payment...  Could you use the grant to get a new phone? 

Don't tell SW but I can do FN and sumup with my current phone but it doesn't have a NFC chip.  I think a NFC chips means someone can pay you by tapping the two phones together.  Anyone technical know the answer?  Could be useful to have a NFC-enabled phone to take payments?

I thought you need to hang on to your receipts for one year in case they want them. You aren’t supposed to send them right away

Its still not very clear.are you supposed to send in receipts at all,or are you just to claim the 1k and keep the receipts just in case they want to see them at a later stage

Dollyer its just a handfull of monkey nuts to get more self employed back to work .I doubt they will ask for receipts .The sting in the tail might be if you accept the queens shilling you cant go back unless you go on the dole proper .

Would freight or commission be a business cost ?

From the application form:

For all purchases funded by this COVID-19 Enterprise Support Grant, you must retain all receipts and invoices for one year from the date of payment of this grant for inspection by the department, should your application be selected for a verification check.

They really, really want us off the €350 so it sounds like they'll pay for anything vaguely biz-related..  I'd say you'd be unlucky to get picked to show your receipts?  There's something like 250,000 people still on the PUP, although not all are taxi drivers or a 'man with a van' types.

From the application form:

Business consumables directly related to trading will not generally be accepted.

Devils Advocate: How was paying freight or commission in April getting you back to business in Sept?

Read the qualifying Criteria  where does it say you must return in September . Will not GENERALLY be accepted .So White van man if he cant claim for fuel or tyres or lunchmoney ,what can he claim for .The Rodent told you he had been informed from a source and I am aware of the sourse that it wont be scrutinised if you are back in work and off the Dole .The small print is probably on the application form if you take this coin you cannot get any more Covid Coin so you must sign on for Unemployment if you need to go back on due to no work or further lockdownd .

I was up the Pheno one Day with Big Dommo and Billy the Bastard .Dommo had a packet of Rolo he offered one to Muriel Colgen she said Fuck off you and your Rolo just show us your mickey .She knew there was an alterior motive for Dommos offer of free sweeties .

Have a think about this .Why are they offering this money to people who claimed Covid Coin and have already returned to work .Small print have you sold out your entitlement to any further Covid payments ?

I dont understand this thing that you have to keep your receipts for one year.my accountant told me I have to keep my receipts for at least the last 8 years,so its no problem to keep them for the next year

It doesn't.  But it's Fri night and there's 2 payments left in Aug & maybe 3 upto mid-Sept. 

They really, really want us off the PUP.  €1k is basically 3 weeks' PUP.  The next choke point is mid-Sept, about 4 weeks away.  It's a bribe.  I guess the subtext from the Govt is take whatever PUP you can get and upto €1k or they'll get strict on your ass in Mid-Sept. 

We had a good run with the free money but, realpolitik, our time is up.  The next people to get the free money is the 3 counties & the factories full of immigrants.

7 or 8 years is for Revenue & tax.  This 1yr rule is for Social Welfare (or whatever they're called nowadays).

[dalymount]

Ah I see.im of the view that the way that you just claim it,and dont send anything it.maybe im wrong

[john m]

Dont look at this as a taxi bobo its more than that a lot of self employed people claimed Covid Coin a lot of them are on more than they earned this is an insentive to get people off the payment before its reduced to 250 .As I said the devil might be in the detail just like the BTWEA once you took it you were locked out for years .There was another piece on 3 News today about drivers waiting 3 hours on a rank between jobs .No pubs ,no gigs,no sports=no taxi work .
