Lucky sods ! One firm in my town charges £190 +VAT per week (130 vehicles)


I hope they issue a VAT reciept for it then


They don't have to unless they are asked for one

If adding VAT and asked for a vat invoice they cant refuse


£223.25 per week off your profits equals £49/wk less tax to pay....

(would you fill up and not ask for a reciept?)

All that will happen now if they accept it is there will be even more illegal pick ups to try and make the money back

It would help if the paper got the story right, it is not the hackney carriage drivers who are protesting which is the impression you get with the picture they have put in the article, it is a private hire company.
