Taxi and private hire news
VAT treatment of private hire vehicles consultation
The government has published a public consultation on the potential tax impacts of recent High Court judgments on transport legislation.
This consultation looks at the potential for a single tier system as a means by which the VAT issue could be avoided. In other words, allowing drivers to contract directly with passengers and removing the role of private hire operators.
Further information is available on GOV.UK
