Another NTA Fuck Up?

[Rat Catcher]

A good few drivers that I know of, myself included, recently received an email from NTA advising that:

A recent check based on the PPS number associated with your licence has identified that you are not
currently registered as tax compliant. To comply with the licensing requirement set out in law, you must
immediately obtain an eTax Clearance Certificate from the Revenue Commissioners.

All those who have checked, myself included, have valid tax clearance as required.

I think u log on and tick a box on ros

[Rat Catcher]

You only need to do the box ticking if your tax clearance has really expired or been withdrawn.

If it says "Tax Clearance Issued" there is no such option. In the cases I'm aware of receiving the recent email (myself included) there was no issue with actual tax clearance i.e. ROS read "Tax Clearance Issued".

Got that myself this morning.  Not a nice way to start the day & a few swear words were used.  Thankfully, God forgave me after I went to church and threw a few coins in the collection basket.

I logged onto Revenue and I am tax complaint.  Bit of a nuisance as I'm doing the suitability (LRA) this week and it'll be a long telephone queue before I get to speak to some minimum wage person in Cork

How many lads will be on to their Accountant this morning paying hard earned for them to check that they are tax compliant ?There is another issue .If the Taxi regulator can check if we are tax compliant can they see your actual earnings .Are they harvesting your information to help them with fare reviews and licencing costs or suitibility costs .What is the extent of their right to know ?

And to think, Octy, that the Govt computers are probably made in China as well.  There's no end to it!

What's the phrase - don't ascribe to malice when incompetence will suffice?

Data protection rules say just take as little info as you need to do the job.  So it's likely just a yes or no to the NTA rather than the full info.  And they wouldn't need to hire consultants to do the biannual fare review if they had our full data?

[Rat Catcher]

I guess we can't rule out the possibility that NTA was hacked by a US or Chinese built AI agent.

Youse probably got the same text message I got this morning from NTA but just in case, they say they're looking into it... 

[Rat Catcher]

Yep.

SMS received:

We have been made aware of a possible Revenue issue relating to tax clearance updates, which may have resulted in some licence holders receiving tax clearance notifications in error. We are currently engaging with Revenue for clarification.

Rodent could Revenue contact UBER enquire how many registered Drivers .Then crosscheck their records for VAT registered drivers .A few Dickheads on other Platforms complaining about UBER and writing angry letters to TD s then posting their replies on the Facebook Pages seeking likes .Doing their best to bring the issue to the attention of revenue .Like I use to say never ask a question you do not already know the answer to .You only ever ask a question to get the Answer verified never to seek the answer .If you dont already know the answer dont ask the question .
