Taxi Driver Online

I am only expressing an opinion...none of this is of importance to me...I thought you were familiar with VAT.. If Uber set the rate..take the money.. and are Vat registered...then they owe( the VAT element of each fare) to the Gov.. for each fare that the drivers do. but if the driver is paid by the customer then they don't.

BOOZE BOOZE BOOZE

What you speak of is a VAT issue, not cause to object to Uber trading

If my base set a rate (like Uber) and take the money (like Uber)then they owe HMG the VAT (or balance thereof) But the VAT issue is not the lynch pin of all the Uber haters is it....

If my base decide to integrate an app to the despatch they are even more "Uber-ish"

they are not registered in the UK? (like many others)


BUT........thats not the matter in question, or wasnt, is it

It was the booking/office/app that was upsetting hordes of drivers, in daily operation more bases are moving to app based bookings, so uber cant be such an issue...

in fact, an uber driver can decline a job (or not take it) whereas a base car (say on mercury) is under greater pressure to take the jobs.........or suffer for a few days

Uber drivers accept and then decline(cancel) a job when a better one crops up and the punters still get charged and then charged again when eventually they get picked up.
Just because your not registered in the UK does not mean your not liable to charge or pay VAT.

1. Any taxi/PH can decline a booking from its base, we all have...

2. I think you will find Ebay might have something to say on that....they are registered in Luxembourg.




But VAT (and Income tax) arent what the moaners moaned about was it...

Now that any PH anywhere can sub or be subbed from any PH base Uber is even more legal...

I refer to Ebays own fees






So..... if your total fees for listing items on Ebay was £250 it would include £32 of vat but HMRC/HMG wont see it

I dont know, tell me....

why is it an issue?

If a PH/HC base uses an app to take booking direct it goes onto the system via a server

in effect no different to Uber

Your definition of subcontracting rules for private hire is totally misguided.Also when a booking is accepted it is a contract under law and the operator and allocated driver must complete that contract.

Explain please?

Before new act cross border subbing was restricted to hackneys, but not now, and even that matter doesnt affect trade within an LA




and how is that NOT the case with Uber but IS the case with a typical base?

Who get's paid.. The Base or the Driver. ??

If the base takes an account booking they get paid....and they pay the driver

If Uber takes a booking they get paid ...............and they pay the driver


the lines are converging

If a cash customer lodges the fare with the base, then the base is liable to pay the driver..
