Maybe we're talking semantics here, but I would call a taxi driver a "profession" before "trade".
It's neither. It's an occupation.

How is this the same?
Teachers receive tax relief for being members of a statutory professional body. No different to any other profession in receipt of this - such as doctors, solicitors, accountants, nurses.
It is my understanding that taxi drivers are not members of a statutory professional body.

What statutory professional body do teachers belong to?
All teachers in Ireland now have to be members of The Teaching Council.
What disciplinary body is in place in order to enforce standards and punish those who fail to meet minimum standards or breach behavioural guidelines?
What mechanism exists for a member of the public to make a complaint against a teacher (I see no link from their home page)?
How many teachers have been struck off the register of teachers each year since the Teaching Council was set up in 2001?
In short, is it a real professional body or just an empty quango?
Which is all totally pointless because, as we are regularly reminded around here, public servants can't be fired anyway! Right?![]()
No, they can and are.
I'm just asking a question; no agenda.
