Please don’t think I’m making this a hackney v PH issue, far from it.
The issue is that VAT might have to be added to all PH fares due to the contractual circumstances between driver and operator.
But VAT is already inclusive in HC fares
It is, but unless you are VAT registered you don't have to forward it to the taxman. This was one of the reasons why we went Private Hire. We were VAT registered but could not charge extra to cover the inclusive VAT on the Hackney fares so by being PH we could charge a bit more to cover the VAT element.
