That's very risky... customer could cancel on the way and ya wouldn't be entitled to a scrub fee.I doubt the drivers would allow ya to rejoin the rank and take your place again.




 Cash is king and if you ever get an audit you'll regret those extra app jobs you didn't need to take.Id need an accountant in the car with me to log every job I've ever done.Not because Im fiddling but its difficult to keep an accurate record.Revenue won't need anything other than your bank statements to see what you owe plus penalties.All you'd be left with is yer steering wheel knob in yer hand when they're finished with ya.

@ MFH, you always see the Bad side of everything.
We got our PUC back from Mytaxi.
We are getting a 3.22% fare rise.
Streets are hopping Day and Night.

You'll have a problem when you get the audit Belker.An app job is not comparable to a cash job off the rank just because ya can't wait 10 or 15 mins.There's no way that PUC will cover any accrued penalties in the audit.I'm not being negative ya mong just smart.

So put all your App jobs through with your accountant.
It's hardly 'Rocket Science'.

The Swedish taxation authorities found that compliance was greatly enhanced among taxi drivers aligned to high tech dispatch firms, filing their report with the EU for reference by other members. However, I think Swedes are known to be chancers. Irish culture is somewhat different, from our politicians down we are known to be a very compliant bunch. Similarly, many of our immigrant drivers come from the obsessively compliant communities of West Africa.

They can't realistically take anything else back from the customers fer a very long time,
after just recently hitting them with the PUC.

To be fair, the majority of Mytaxi jobs are ready to go in under 2 minutes.

They gave passengers 24 hours notice about the return of the PUC.They can do whatever they want.5 minutes waiting is taking the piss.London drivers put the meter on after 2.5 mins.I'm guesing they get the scrub after 2.5 too if there's no show.

Uber allows 2 mins. Most of the time passengers materialise quickly enough. I guess sometimes allowing up to 5 minutes might be appropriate but certainly not when the victim is supping ale while the driver fights off street hailing scum.
