I don't think toppling mytaxi would be an impossible feat...We got close to closing them down just before they caved on the PUC.Maybe the right app hasn't arrived yet.Flag have the right idea playing the fairness card.

Merc how do they attract the Customers .Drivers will not migrate to another app if they dont have the CUSTOMERS and why would customers care about driver fairness .Your looking at this from a drivers utopian position .Its all about the CUSTOMERS simple as .

Hail0 played that card too... it was going to put all those mean and nasty Irish dispatch firms out of business by forcing drivers to give discounts of up to 33% and charge it's best drivers €240/week for the privilege. To be fair, as FDS used to remind us, there's a reason we drive taxis for a living hence we loved the idea!

I doubt Richie would refuse a few hundred million for Flag if it ever gets successful enough to attract such an offer.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Regarding new entrants...Mytaxi realise when you're new and fresh you're gonna chase every shite job and cover more than the useless fukkers like me hiding from the tax man. New lads have massive expenses and are generally more compliant.Card work doesn't bother them at all.

The Swedish taxation authorities found that compliance is greatly enhanced among drivers who subscribe to high tech dispatch firms, lodging the relevant report with the EC for reference. The taxman isn't an idiot, he knows human nature hence he knows he will find much lower compliance levels among drivers who avoid working for dispatch firms that issue detailed invoices.

There is another dynamic involved in Mytaxi Drivers are emotionally invested they are use to it .A lot of drivers are predictable ,work the same patch same ranks same apps .Emotional Investment  with apps and Social media is a new phenomenom .If I get into the car even to drive to the bookies I turn on the meter and the sat nav .Believe it or not a lot of drivers could not break the emotional bond with Mytaxi /Hailo and thats part of what they rely on .That is also a problem for them as a lot of Ambassadors would feel betrayed if they were downgraded by a nearest car gets the job scenario .Thats the problem Mytaxi need to evaluate and solve .How do you level the playing field so you encourage more drivers to cover more work .My suggestion is tough love just do it and rely on the Emotional investment to bring ambassador drivers back to the fold .

Scandinavian taximeters are directly linked to inland revenue, the Brits aren't far behind: https://www.ft.com/content/0640f6ac-5ce9-11e7-9bc8-8055f264aa8b

Rats will know, but what is the retrospective limitation for under-declared tax returns?  You can claim for the last 4 yrs but can they do the same, or does it go further back?

Including taxi companies running hundreds of cars through revenue returns. They usually have half that.

The tax man can go back to the foundation of the state in 1922.

6 years, I think LL... except in cases of fraud where there is no limit.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
