  1. What tax obligations do PDVL drivers have in Singapore?

    Answer: PDVL drivers must declare their driving income to IRAS and may deduct eligible expenses such as fuel, vehicle rental, and platform commissions

    PDVL drivers are typically self-employed and must declare all driving income to IRAS. They can claim deductions for business expenses including fuel, vehicle rental, insurance, and platform commissions.

  2. What happens to a PDVL if the driver's regular driving licence is suspended?

    Answer: The PDVL is automatically invalidated as it requires a valid underlying driving licence

    A valid Singapore Class 3/3A driving licence is a prerequisite for the PDVL. If the underlying licence is suspended or revoked, the PDVL automatically becomes invalid.

  3. What are the rules regarding tipping in Singapore's private hire car industry?

    Answer: Tipping is voluntary and not customary in Singapore; platforms may offer in-app tipping features but drivers should never solicit tips

    Tipping is not customary in Singapore. While some platforms offer in-app tipping, it is entirely voluntary. PDVL drivers should never pressure passengers for tips.

  4. Can a PDVL driver refuse a booking in Singapore?

    Answer: Drivers should generally accept bookings; unjustified refusals may lead to penalties from the platform; legitimate reasons include safety concerns or vehicle issues

    While drivers can cancel for legitimate reasons (safety concerns, vehicle issues, medical emergencies), frequent unjustified cancellations can result in penalties from the ride-hailing platform.

  5. What anti-discrimination obligations do PDVL drivers have?

    Answer: Drivers must not refuse passengers based on race, religion, disability, age, or other discriminatory factors; complaints can lead to PDVL suspension

    PDVL drivers must not discriminate against passengers on any protected grounds including race, religion, nationality, disability, or gender. Complaints of discrimination can result in disciplinary action.

  6. What is the LTA enforcement process for PDVL violations?

    Answer: LTA conducts regular enforcement checks, issues fines, may suspend or revoke PDVLs, and works with platforms to ensure compliance

    LTA actively enforces PDVL regulations through roadside checks, mystery shopping, complaint investigations, and platform data analysis. Violations can result in fines, PDVL suspension, or revocation.
