To ask His Majesty's Government what is their timetable for introducing legislation on disability awareness training for taxi and Private Hire Vehicle drivers.
To ask His Majesty's Government what is their timetable for introducing legislation on disability awareness training for taxi and Private Hire Vehicle drivers.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of applying a 0% VAT rate for licensed minicab operator journeys.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of applying a 0% VAT rate for licensed minicab operator journeys.
VAT has been designed as a broad-based tax on consumption, and the twenty per cent standard rate applies to many goods and services. VAT at the standard rate has always applied to the provision of licensed minicab services when supplied by VAT registered businesses.
While there are exceptions to the standard rate, these have always been strictly limited by both legal and fiscal considerations.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies on VAT of the High Court judgment of 28 July 2023 in Uber Britannia Limited v Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies on VAT of the High Court judgment of 28 July 2023 in Uber Britannia Limited v Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council; and if he will make a statement.
This High Court ruling is not a tax case and does not have a direct bearing on any business’s tax position. The VAT rules, which apply to all businesses, have not changed. The Government is carefully considering the implications of the ruling for the sector and passengers.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the judgment in the case of Uber Britannia Limited v Sefton Borough Council [2023] EWHC 1975 (KB), what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of that judgment on the application of VAT on taxi fares.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the judgment in the case of Uber Britannia Limited v Sefton Borough Council [2023] EWHC 1975 (KB), what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of that judgment on the application of VAT on taxi fares.
The Uber Britannia Limited v Sefton Borough Council [2023] EWHC 1975 judgment does not apply to taxis, it only applies to Private Hire Vehicle Operator (PHVO) services.
The VAT rules remain unchanged for PHVO fares. Fares have always been subject to VAT when provided by a VAT registered business who is providing those services as principal. The Government is carefully considering the impact this will have on the sector and passengers.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's policies on VAT in the private hire sector of the High Court verdict in Uber vs. Sefton Council.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's policies on VAT in the private hire sector of the High Court verdict in Uber vs. Sefton Council.
The Uber Britannia Limited v. Sefton Borough Council High Court case is not a tax case and does not have a direct bearing on the tax treatment of private hire vehicle services. Indeed, the VAT rules, which apply to all businesses, have not changed.
The Government recognises, however, that this ruling may have VAT implications for the private hire vehicle sector and is currently assessing what the impact of these may be, as the Government keeps all taxes under review.

To ask His Majesty's Government, what assessment they have made of the impact on electric vehicle usage by logistics companies of extending the 100 per cent tax-deductible annual investment allowance for capital spending to leased or hired vehicles.
To ask His Majesty's Government, what assessment they have made of the impact on electric vehicle usage by logistics companies of extending the 100 per cent tax-deductible annual investment allowance for capital spending to leased or hired vehicles.
The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) allows businesses to deduct the full value of a qualifying item of plant and machinery from profits before tax, up to the AIA limit of £1 million.
Capital expenditure by lessors on non-car electric vehicles (such as vans and HGVs) can qualify for the AIA where the asset is leased or hired out, but the AIA excludes expenditure on cars for which other allowances may be available.

In the 2019 response to the report of the Chair of the Task and Finish Group on Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) licensing, the government committed to require the completion of disability awareness training by drivers when Parliamentary time allowed. This remains our position.
In the meantime, in 2022 we consulted on updated best practice guidance for taxi and PHV licensing authorities, including a recommendation that drivers are required to complete such training. The consultation response and substantive guidance will be published in due course.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to ensure the viability of the private hire and hackney carriage trade.
The Department has regular engagement with taxi and private hire vehicle stakeholders and understands that there is strong demand for their services. The Government will publish revised best practice guidance for licensing authorities in due course. This will encourage proportionate regulation to enable the sector to deliver safe, accessible, and affordable services that meet the differing needs of passengers.
That this House commends all drivers from across the UK nominated in the 2023 Parliamentary Taxi and Private Hire Awards taking place on Tuesday 7 June, sponsored by the hon. Member for Cambridge, who established them in 2019 and have been supported then and since by FREENOW, the mobility app; considers that the 37 individuals receiving this accolade play a vital role in and make huge contributions towards the life of the local communities they serve, frequently going above and beyond what we might reasonably expect of them for their customers as well as helping others both nationally and internationally through voluntary work, fundraising activities and other charitable doings; finds the stories that the nominations contain in both this and previous years humbling, including as they do, for example, the lives of passengers being saved due to the knowledge of their drivers of cardiopulmonary resuscitation; notes the important role these professional drivers play in assisting those with disabilities or other accessibility challenges, whether through age or infirmity, thereby rendering their lives just a little easier; and finally applauds all Members of both Houses who took the time to propose a driver.
