that's y if uber quit malaysia market, also spell end day of ehailing driver

local zepp on no much hope

hope LINE would enter malaysia market soon since this country already legalised ehailing service, unlike thailand

3 corner fight is always most beneficial to both rider and driver

Noted. In the past, I have hired one of them to do the account for me and save me a few thousands in payable tax. Bear in mind that I have a EA form from full time job, so need to keep net revenue earned from GrabCar to minimum as possible so not to exceed the current income bracket, you know.

Instead of paying more to LHDN, might as well transfer those money to tax agent.
*
as yhtan suggest, you should instead "pay more - exact" to lhdn rather than to private tax agent, so that next time you are eligible for a lot more in future life.

btw, even that agent save u few thousands, if that was using 'tax evasion' way instead of legit 'tax minimising' way one day u may also getting trouble.

these are the useful info you can get from this thread... thanks to this imma save ALL my receipts from now on and try to pay with card as much as possible.
btw I've never filled up Malaysia income tax form b4 since I've been working overseas all this while... I think the simplest tax form in the world is Singapore, most complicated... USA.

just a matter for ron95, not every petrol accept card payment for this quoting no much profits earned. best still cash ready for ron95 and get the receipt, however, be prepared for scanner + laser printer to print it out as duplicate copy, thermal prinedt receipt fades within 2 weeks

Really?

I always thought that if do account yourself, you will try to evade tax and under declare your net earning as much as possible.

That's why I gave it to LHDN authorized tax agent to do it for me in legal way unless those tax agent also corrupted then I have no comment.
Even LHDN officer has asked me to go to Tax Agent for tax computation.

I don't think any of us (non-accountant) know to derive QE by ourself to get more tax deduction.

How to detect whether the tax agent is using 'tax evasion' or legit 'tax minimising' way ?
*
lhdn already encourage ppl to do diy self declaring, online registration and tax returns submission is one of the effort

the keyword always the - deliberately or not, knowingly or not, lhdn won't expect every one is 100% accurate

if not mistaken, no deviation over 30% of correct calculated amount is ok for self tax returns submission based on their regulation

for one claim full phone bills, full fuel amount i think also reasonable - since got ppl get 2nd number just for separate uber/grab acccount, some drive out pump rm30 then do job just to finish the fuel then go back, all these can be explained if being questioned. as this comply with the lhdn rule "wholely and exclusively". just make sure got receipt/invoice there ready.

authorised tax agent... haha, many do tax for taxi drivers, hawkers till today, u know i know what they did in the past, otherwise lhdn/customs won't send out troop now to observe daily hawker revenue by standing near their stall.

if u did not mention anything about tax evasion to your tax agent to prepare submission, and the tax filing got tax agent stamped on it then ok lah. if got fault also liability of the tax agent. but i guess grabber/uberian no need waste money on tax agent, just simple calculation and keep all those documents.

next year u need to declare liao, don't wait thill lhdn send letter to your letterbox as this year they legalised it, and already asking details from grab/uber send to spad, don't u think spad won't send to lhdn?

** i juz no sure if they go to the extend collect past years since it is all digital now, information just simply extracted from grab/uber database how much one earn since day 1 driving **

our beloved gov already mentioned wanna increase tax collection and every possible way... even they said now wanna tax on google, facebook by amending/forming new laws

do like simple business profit and loss account, gross income - deductible expenses = nett

Those detail is useless. I don't believe those noob government will print the whole stack of transaction and bill me one by one...

look at this : https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4413037/+20

they won't look at each transactions lah, they just request summary info from grab/uber - total earnings todate, is already enough to proceed to check whether one got report such income or not in tax returns.

btw, lhdn won't susah susah search u, i guess they would make u finally willing take initiative to meet them to get solution , unless u don have any

1) bank account in malaysia
2) movable and immovable assets under your name

Finally, we can rate our passanger!

What was the issue(s)?

you may select multiple options

Location
1.pick up at dangerous location
2. arguments on destination
3. pick up location is far from exact location
4. wrong pick up point --- > I think many of us encounter this one

Passanger
1.Arrive late --- > I think many of us encounter this one
2. Using bad language towards driver
3. Change of destination ---> can choose this also if passanger ask us to stop at 7-11/buy food at mcdonalds etc
4. Drink alcoholic drinks/smoking

Fare
1.Refused to pay fare --- > I think many of us encounter this one once in a while
2. Forgot to include toll chargers
3. Fare not fully paid
4. Fare too low --- > WE ALL NOTICED THIS IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS!

We can leave feedback too!

What was the issue(s)
( fill up the details )
and click SUBMIT!

Don't forget that we can always fill up the feedback later after the journey ends.

But I am not sure if customer know that we rate em like Uber.
*
by this means, from now on, driver no longer need contact CS about?

A) accepted trip matters:
================
wrong pick up point argument
wrong destination argument
single trip but multi stop (more with add on party onboard along the trip?)
...
so just add fares by driver<>passenger consent in final receipt fare, then just rate this trip like that (as equivalent as remarked by CS)?
or driver not allowed to add fares alone by implementing this program, to be compensated by grab system?


B) seller cancelled trips:
================
still can submit these feedback why cancelling job, as equivalent as remarked by CS?

depends on location lah. this one particular student area , many grab customers one kind one.

i refers to this:

http://www.thesundaily.my/news/2017/08/01/...ess-5-years-old

for existing drivers with existing contract ehailing company, the cars still allowed to use maximum 10 years

so it means, for new drivers who registered with SPAD later will got 5 year maximum.


now i started understand why grab do not follow uber footstep to help driver register with SPAD first as it wanna sapu as many as it can, in terms of 'existing driver with existing contract' before start mass enrolment with SPAD, because after that moment, any grab newly registered driver would be subject to 5 years car usage term limit as they are considered new/not existing driver. Grab legal team would exploit the said 1 year allowance term as long as possible. Uber no brain...

Maybe he meant rent from individual who can provide authorisation letter.

Is there anyone in Penang who tried the new competitor MULA? I was told u can choose new car to drive for them which later becomes yours after fulfilling the conditions. But the fare rate is not much different from uber.
*
as the new law spells maximum 5 years car age for e-hailing for new driver/e-hailing company [not exisiting one]

it is no point join this business model - drive for them, help them paid car instalment, then cars become yours later as it will be "no use" for e-hailing after 5 years and the conditions of cars also not nice already after that long daily time biz usage, simply saying "NOT WORTH"

remember got singapore company which bought a lot of cars first then wanna rent out to drivers but then failed, selling out those car cheap cheap

Don't go to Jaya One or you'll be having a heart attack seeing them queue like snake.

Did my everything online except for the document validation. Yes, I went to Jaya One but seeing so many people there I just cabut and validate my docs with some agents in a mamak restaurant at Bandar Sunway. Less than 2 hours, I started my kuli mode with Grab...
*
huh, wonder why he suggest ppl do in that old tradisional pattern everything start zero from queue

since we now got:

step 1: online registration + online document submission
step 2: online video class/lessons
step 3: online test

all these 3 can be done comfortably at your home

completed the above 3, then final step 4 just go jaya one to validate document, as some dislike outsiders because feel better/more confident do it in HQ. Some dislike register with Alpha also.

if start zero after step inside hq office, slow slow wait lah...

also the HQ validation actually not too focused on document but more on your phone model entry by the time you register online. validation is fast, a few minutes. just a bit waiting time for your turn, but since once in lifetime lah registration ok lah, be familiar a bit with the office environment also good - which part for registration, which part handle partners (existing driver). see crews face ...

desa aman puri / wangsa permai to and fro, to and fro can certainly hit more than 4 trips per block.
another location is venice hill. up down up down will do.

golden short trips port. dont mind sharing because it is only for the bravehearted.

isn't there is some kind of grab prohibition rules - continuously trip to trip back & forth at same area sounds like gaming to them, forgot where i saw it, q&a section or other places...

so i guess some GA suspended was due to this, in driver wording grab wanna reducing GA, in grab wording it was gaming ...

put up in cabin dashcam

no point for one side story

nowadays every thing on "solid evidence"

grab not police force, where to have investigation power to check every case, just take down notice and remark only, no effect. Unless serious case like robbing, molesing, raping, then their office worker would leave the comfort office chair a while for it.

grab also call for in car camera, just buy 1, i'm now thinking where to put the cam at

some using phone with dashcam program to keep recording in background, but

Drawbacks: continuously job: heat up CPU, drain power, shortening sd card life span, and too multi big job grab app + navigation app + recording app may crash system, narrow front camera angle not sufficient to cover all.

Only consider good option if it is a separate phone with just few apps on it.
