A revenue source has claimed that hundreds of taxi drivers are deserting their jobs, rather than submit to rigorous audit checks being carried out by the Department of Revenue. Rogue drivers have been amassing undeclared income, and under new tax clearance rules established by the regulator when the industry was deregulated, many are falling prey to the new tightening of regulations.

Jump To Comment: 6 5 4 3 2 1As an ex taxi driver I think it's disgraceful that the revenue are going after these drivers. It's a tough job with no benefits and you just have to listen to crap all night. If you have a breakdown you spend days off the road and fork out hundreds for overpriced parts and repairs. If you're sick you just have to take the hit, same if you're assaulted or someone crashes into you and you're off the road, the insurance companies rip you off by not paying a proper value on the car. You're completely outside the system so you're not a burden on the state. Also you have to listen to idiots constantly telling you that you are making a fortune and there's not enough taxis because they all leave the pubs at the same time and expect a taxi instantly. But they never open their mouths when there's a huge glut of taxis the rest of the week and you're sitting on ranks half the night waiting for a fare.
Meanwhile all the big tax dodgers, the public service employees who abuse the system and the social welfare spongers are a much bigger burden on the state. But as another poster said it's easy to go after taxi drivers they're a soft target.
Any taxi drivers who are dodging their tax bills and now are leaving the taxi industry wont be missed by taxi drivers and taxi organizations, Unfortunately they just return on the dole and are an even greater burden on us. However i dont think the infastructure of the country is going to be effected greatly by the few dodgy taxi drivers, On the other hand the billionaires that doge their tax responsibilities and are not chased up by revenue could be paying towords a proper health and education service. Tax amnasties weren't aimed at dodgy taxi drivers, no they were aimed at dodgy building developers and dodgy politicians. So if it helps revenue to take our mind of the big fish by realeasing this sort of statements aimed more at the predictable responce from the general public to one of their pet hates taxi drivers, then their getting what they wanted. daithi
The National Debt in Ireland is administered by the NTMA - National treasury Management Agency established by the Act of 1990:

Taking too many magic mushrooms, benny ?
The "Central Bank of Ireland" is a state institution established by the Central Bank Act of 1942:
http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA22Y1942.html
The "Bank of Ireland" is a private banking corporation established by public subscription under Royal Charter in 1783.

Any intelligent discussion of tax and financial matters should not confuse the two.
The Income Tax Act 1967 is available online at:
http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA6Y1967.html
I can't find any provision in that Act which would lead me to conclude that:
"the revenue pay the central bank of ireland [a private corp] who pay the special commissioners [ appointed by private investers in uk ] who pay out dividents to the investers."
Maybe you should get your facts straight.
did you know that our tax money is going to pay the national debt and not to run the country.the revenue pay the central bank of ireland [a private corp] who pay the special commissioners [ appointed by private investers in uk ] who pay out dividents to the investers.see for yourself just google income tax act 1967 skip down to first schrdule.the same setup as the fed in the u.s.
at last, revenue have copped on and are targeting those who are ripping us the tax payer off , I hope they decide soon to focus on builders and tradesmen who don't seem to want to do anything unless it is for cash and at that they still charge crazy prices, also the publicans need to be targeted for the price of soft drinks which is ranson money for thise who dont wish 2 drink and drive
