Having read the document supplied could I raise a few points please? I specifically asked about help for the taxi trade, where 99% of licensed drivers are sole traders, not ltd companies (so no company registration number) and not vat registered (as not many will turnover in excess of the mandatory vat registration limit of £85,000 (£1634 per week average)), for a sole trader taxi driver that is probably double or treble what they take. Most work from home so do not incur business rates in fact hackney plated drivers place of work should the rank in town. Since April 2020 the trade has seen a 75% reduction in business overall, taxi bases have closed, rental taxis have been handed back to the base. I have read the document and calculate - of 150 badged taxi drivers - only 3 could qualify for any grant On the other hand, many councils have granted drivers between £200 and £500 with fewer restrictions, Northern Ireland has been generous handing drivers £1500. Would anyone review this policy looking at from the viewpoint of a sole trader with 1 car working from home? Thanks |

fast reply Quote: Good morning Steve,
Thank you for flagging up the below information, the amendment has been made on the form for sole traders to include their unique tax identifier/number. You don’t have to incur business rates to be eligible, as home based businesses are allowed to apply and we appreciate a lot of sectors/business activities which have been ineligible for previous financial support aren’t ratepayers or have a commercial premises. I shall notify my licensing team to get in touch in answer to your question on fees/extended plates. Cheers. |
