Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to Sacha,
thats interesting, I tried to find out more about this and the person behind it, couldn't find any information. is this for real or just a pissed off Uber drivers dieing breath before his Uber account is deactivated.

The NZTA can and do field enforcement. Depends on which staff is interested in actually doing their job. In this modern day compliancy issues can be identified easy using the NZTA data base.
-
Also Uber lost it appeal in Frankfurt, Germary against the desist order to operate.
The noose is tightening slowly. -
Its about time the NZTA did something to earn there saleries. Pity the Auckland NZTA doen't get off their hands and ping some non compilant drivers.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
I fully agree with you, have always stated Uber operates outside NZ Laws.

I just received an update from the IRD, have not fully understood the update, but basicly it says from augest this year overseas business suppling services to New Zealanders will be required to register for GST and pay GST and this is aimed at internet, on line type services.
Reading between the lines looks like Uber can't hide from the tax man much longer.

I am not making hell a lot of assumptions in regard to drivers avoiding there responsibilies in regard to NZ Law. Experience gained from years of looking after drivers tell me most keep every cent they take and most dont give a dam about any laws at all. I do realised that you are mostly compliant but you are the exception in trying to do the right thing.

i think the bottom line is, Uber should be telling their contractors exactly what is expected of them in regard to all the NZ laws not Ubers version of the NZ Laws. As after all its their system the contractors are driving for.

Hi again, I just been informed by a tax expert in regard to GST. Did you know that the commission you pay to Uber and in the case of the dodgy PSLs the commission paid the PSL holder you are subjected to an additional GST ammount on these commissions paid.
ie Fee of 20% for the older drivers, newer drivers and the 25% commission paid should be plus GST and the 5% you pay for a dodgy PSL should be plus GST.
This of course will push the toalcommissions up 28.75% (GST inclusive)
This is another area where Uber and their drivers are not being compliant to NZ Law.
