"so far there is no incentive to return to work". Unless they look for a photo of your meter reading, and mileometer, before you go back to work, of course there is.

Bob I'm talking about only being allowed to earn 120 net(i think) before you lose any eligibility for COVID funds.Cash work is thin on the ground.

Sorry I see you get me in your edited post.I wanna work but only if it's not for feck all.

I doubt you will get 120 a week but if it says 480 a month then work the app to get 480 then go back to the sofa .If most drivers return you wont get a ton a week on the app add in fuel and taxi insurance you might be up a score bit of a smoke and your broke again .

Would it not mean 120 a week AFTER expenses? Surely it does?

Yes, it’s €120 earnings not gross.

I would go back for an extra 120 a week after expenses,  fooking right I would. More to get out of the gaf and not lose my pup than anything else. 7 months sitting around in the house is getting to me mentally not to mention I've only 250 a week.  I'm delighted with this news.

Wont be for a few weeks though john, I've to get a car and pass it out. That is provided the nct and sgs and sticker and metre installers and sealers are open. God only knows what level of lock down we'll be in next week nevermind next month. Good news all the same.

I’d imagine most drivers monthly deductibles would be €1000 a month before fn commission, so you’d be able to do a tad over €1500 monthly on the app and any bit of cash work that you can find... it’s better than sweet fcuk all

Mr Donohoe said that VRT reliefs for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles and hybrids will be allowed to expire and relief for Battery Electric Vehicles will be allowed "taper".

Most of us would need to take in €250/300(renters even more) to net 120.If we take in €310 we're netting €130 which excludes us from the PUP.That's a very narrow window to operate in IMO.You are then hoping and praying that social welfare don't ask to see your accounts at some point.

Maybe there's something specific for taxis coming.Right now I'll stay on the €250.No effort required.Maybe look for some work into the hand after Xmas.

Horsey you have 12 months after your plate lapses before it expires and gone forever.Take yer time and assess your options.

Everyone will be back working, because the day of reckoning will be 12 months down the road, and guys will worry about that when it arrives. So it will be more for the guys who didn't work, and less for those who did, + €1k to kick it off......... wonderful!
