The Perfect Taxi App

[mercenary for hire]

Dunno Belker I don't see why these app companies need to keep records of everything.I doubt very much the cab companies are keeping records of the amount of jobs you did 5 years ago on Xmas Eve for example.

Maybe a cash only app with the option for drivers to use in car card facilities of they choose to.

I mean 'REALLY' MFH ?

And you call John M a Spoofer ?

I don't spoof Belker.What don't you believe?

Whistle charges a fixed fee per job and doesn't record prices charged in respect of cash fares, if memory serves.

It's called 'Company Law', I am not the best at it and maybe Bubba might know a whole lot more.
But in general companies must provide accounts to revenue. "Sorry, I deleted them all" will not wash.

5 or 10 years ago things were different when a base op with a notepad and a Two way radio was
about all the revenue could chase, and that would take some unravelling.

Whistle charges a fixed fee per job and doesn't record prices charged in respect of cash fares, if memory serves.

There is still a job list of how many jobs each driver completes, if Joe completes 100 jobs per week on Whistle
and declares an income of 300Euro, then the revenue might get interested in him.

Belker I remember company law from school and it has nothing to do with recording shifts,hours worked or value of jobs.Revenue only want to know how much tax they should pay on the freight.A record of jobs is all that's needed not the amount of sensitive data Mytaxi is keeping on drivers.

Don't forget Tim and his gang already offered the NTA detailed statistics on a plate in a recent lobbying submission I found online.They would hang drivers out to dry in a heartbeat if revenue came with a court order.Small taxi companies wouldn't be able to accumulate such detailed info even if they wanted to.I hate posting this stuff but the level of nativity amongst drivers around these apps is staggering.

There are gobshites out there who think revenue will believe they're only working the app and nothing else.

I think we are now in agreement MFH.

I mentioned to my accountant last year that Hailo/Mytaxi had promised not to pass on any information to anyone.
She Laughed !  Loudly !!

why complicate it with apps .Revenue only need to get the figures from sgs they take a reading which shows the ticket number every test .there must be a figure for the average fare multiply the number of jobs by the average fare you have a figure for average earnings If you are honest you have no problem.

[mercenary for hire]

What ticket number?They only check the time.

What ticket number?They only check the time.

do they ? the operator asks for a reciept there is more information on that ticket than the time .

NCT take your mileage.
SGS print off one of your receipts.

mytaxi has offered to share data with anyone in authority that wants it, the firm is extremely needy when it comes to pandering to the authorities. Regardless of that, it issues you with invoices which you are legally obliged to retain. Failure to do so could result in penalties. Of course, you also have shift reports produced by your meter. Obviously a Revenue Auditor would compliance test all of your records with cross checks included.

I print less than 20 receipts per year. The receipt number only increments when a receipt is printed with my equipment. Mileage is probably a better guide where a driver has failed, refused and neglected to keep proper records. Of course, the extrapolated figure ought to be subject to penalties in such cases.
