Uber Success




Uber is getting famous in Pakistan because of the low fares in good condition cars. Also people are earning a good money by providing services through Uber. About Rs30k to 70k average earnings  by a driver in a month which is good as compared to other jobs in a local market. Thats the reason we will see very well educated people not hesitant to be a tax driver. Currently the services is only in the major cities like Lahore &  Karachi but looking at the expansion rate internationally the service may be available soon in all big cities. The Rival company Careem is getting more repute because of less complains of harassment by drivers which is damaging the reputation.

Analysis of Uk Business
Uber officially launched in London in 2012, just before the Olympics, and has expanded to more than 25 cities in Britain, most recently launching in Cambridge.
As per JO Bertram, Uber's UK CEO, drivers make average fares of £15-£16 an hour after Uber's fee. The Uber's app is being downloaded 30,000 times a week on average in UK. Uber for Business service claims to be "23% cheaper" than Green Tomato Cars, a minicab rival in London. 

Despite all expansion and increase in its revenue, company is suffering losses in 2016. The main target is rapid expansion all over the world and win the trust of consumers. This type of business model is good for the businesses who can arrange huge initial capital and have ability to manage high risk because high risks bring high rewards incase of success.

First Accounting Period- Corporation Tax

It is very important to register for Corporation tax in the first year of trade if you start trading after your company setup date because this will decide how many tax returns you need to submit if your first year of accounting is more than one year. HMRC has given two clear example to explain the issue.   Example 1 (If registered for Corporation tax service before accounting reference date) Company set up date is 11 May 2014, started trading at 22 July 2014 , register for Corporation Tax 26 August 2014 and accounting reference date is 31 May 2015. In this case only 1 tax return covering period 22/07/2014 to 31/05/2015 need to be submitted plus year end accounts from 11/05/2014 to 31/05/2015.

In this case only 2 tax return covering period 11/05/2014 to 21/07/2014 ...

Rental Income Spouse

Where the married couple has rental income from property, they can reduce the taxes by doing some good tax planning. If the property is owned jointly, both can claim rental income 50:50 in their tax returns regardless of ownership ratio (which can be different from 50:50). So it means rental income sharing can be 50:50 if ownership ratio is 40:60 or rental income sharing can be 30:70 if the ownership ratio is 30:70 etc. What is not possible is rental income sharing of 10:90 and ownership ratio is 60:40. But in case of disposal of property capital gains or losses will be shared in the ownership ratio. No inheritance tax in case of gift of property between spouses if married couple have same domicile (Uk or Non UK).  Form 17 is required to be filled to HMRC if rental income is shared by married couple within 60 days.
