Petition Remove all VAT on applicable Licensed Taxis
Remove VAT charges for all applicable licensed public-hire taxis, including London black cabs. Buses and trains are zero-rated for VAT under the VAT Act 1994. All licensed taxis, regardless of income, should receive the same treatment as public transport to support clean, accessible travel.
More details
Many taxi drivers are investing in electric, wheelchair-accessible vehicles that have been reported to have already cut London taxi emissions by 59%. The 20% VAT can add thousands of pounds to costs for self-employed drivers. Buses and trains get VAT relief; we believe taxis deserve the same to help keep cities clean and mobile.
