Tax requirements for your application
To apply for a licence to be a taxi driver, private hire driver or run a taxi booking office, you'll need to give a 9 character tax check code on your application form if, you are:
- renewing your licence
- applying for a new licence and your previous licence expired or was revoked less than a year ago
- applying for a new licence and you have the same type of licence issued by another licensing authority
The tax code is valid for 120 days.
If you're applying for a new licence or your previous licence expired or was revoked over a year ago you must be able to confirm you understand your tax responsibilities when applying.
