Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - now i see it all clearly

The question of how you deal with earnings from taxi drivers is always a problem. This is an area where benefit inspectors and assessors suspect that all taxi drivers lie to us.

Muppet!

I'm offended how dare they suggest that ALL taxi drivers tell lies......

It is also a shame they don't apply such logic to benefit spongers who live on more money than some people earn for an honest weeks work.

Not to mention the bit that suggests you have to have a good reason to only work part time.... how about I only want to work part time is that good enough.

Oh yes and before I go there is also the fact that you don't need to have an accountant if your earnings are below £15,000

if you own a taxi or ph its hard to hide anything...you Have a year start milage and a year end milage....whats in between is more or less work milage. plus you enter your fuel purchases and that tells the tax man what milage youve done, wheres the fiddle to be found??

why should it mention P.H.
You all think your taxi drivers anyway.
same job blah de blah de blah.

Don't feel so offended. I think you will find that the tax man thinks EVERYONE tells lies to them. :shock:

The worrying thing is that this is offical advice to DSS fraud investigators, from the top! 2. It does cost money to run a car. The driver/owner will probably have to licence more than one car. Taxis do have high running costs because of the mileage and the fact that most of the usage is over short distances, more often than not in urban or semi urban areas. 3. In some areas there is a surplus of taxi firms and therefore finding customers can be difficult. Taxi drivers can put in long hours but carry few passengers. 5. The so-called middle classes tend to use less taxis than other groups. These days one member of the domestic partnership will drive and not drink. This grouping will also be multi-car users and is another reason why they do not use taxis as much as many others. Even groups of men from this social class are likely to go out drinking with one of their number as the designated driver of the night. 6. It costs money to licence a driver and the cars. It is not reasonable for a driver to spend £150 to licence two cars and a further £75 to licence himself and only do £15 a week. 7. When on holiday a one-man-band will get someone else, a brother or father-in-law to keep the business going. They may be claiming benefits too. 8. Retired drivers are more likely to work the day shifts, while married men will do either, unless they have another day job in which case they will do a few hours in the evening, early mornings and weekend work. Middle-aged single men will do the night shifts. More women are working in this field but tend to be used for couples and women passengers. 9. The one-man-band will give little or no consideration to their own health and safety (or in many cases those of the customer, would you choose to be driven by someone who has not slept in the last 24 hours?) talk about stereo-typing.....

Better still...be an MP, MEP, or MSP...then sit back and and let the Government fiddle your Taxes on your Behalf..
