Current hackney taxi tariff

• Current tariff confirmation outstanding: The council notice proposes retaining the existing scale from 31 July 2025 only if no representations are received. The April report and minute also authorise implementation conditionally. A final representations outcome or operative notice has not been located, so TECSI has withdrawn its claim that the July commencement was verified. Use the council source to confirm the current card.

Effective current operative commencement not independently confirmed · last verified 23 October 2026

Licence-fee snapshot

• Taxi or private-hire driver: £80 new, £60 renewal; licence normally valid for three years
• Licence fee detail 2: The council's current operator, amendment and vehicle-fitness forms require the appropriate fee but do not publish the amount; current vehicle/operator, booking-office, amendment and testing fees therefore require confirmation from LicensingSupport@cne-siar.gov.uk
