Not allowed to profit, and if a surplus is made then it should be spent over the next year(s).

Why you ask? :?

The CRB price is set by the government, not by your council.

Convictions/cautions etc are never spent for anyone driving a taxi or PH. :shock:

A CRB check also includes Stuff that you may have done but have not been convicted of which wont show up on your record.
