| Comment | The meter is little use for a tax enquiry as drivers can chop and change cabs they rent. Owners can rent out their cabs part time or full time so by the time a tax enquiry comes the meter stats are ambiguous.
If a tax enquiry did appear on the door step of an unscrupulous operator, the meter unit can suddenly fail and need to be replaced. Vehicle mileage is used by tax investigators as it is a bit more reliable and recorded at frequent intervals by gov agencies.
HMRC have an algorithm for different localities that factor in mileage, earnings, expenses and occupancy percentage. |
