If you're driving the car you are required to pay motor tax at the appropriate class.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Its the law of the land, you must have Motor Tax on your Car, in my case its now classified as a "Private" vehicle thats why.

He's driving a private car.

Well he either already had private motor tax which tends to be much more expensive, or he went on to motortax.ie and paid the extra which seems to defeat the purpose
do you have private motor (road)  tax

It's not complicated. Your SPSV vehicle licence is only valid if you hold a SPSV insurance policy in respect of the vehicle. If your SPSV vehicle licence is not valid you are legally required to return the tamper proof licence discs to NTA. You must tax the car as a private car if it is no longer licensed as a taxi and you intend driving it on a public road, otherwise you should register the vehicle as "off the road" and refrain from driving or parking it on a public road.

TBH, it couldn't be more simpler.

If this is the case then the insurance companies should not be offering social and domestic cover on de-linked taxis if they are aware those taxis should be road taxed privately whilst knowing the vast majority of taxis are road taxed as taxis.
Truth be told we are not supposed to use the Taxi privately at all if taxed as a Taxi, who does that?

Motor tax doesn't interest insurance companies... until they're looking for an excuse not to settle a claim, of course! It's up to you to pay the correct tax... same as if you sold / transferred ownership of the vehicle.

I assume you, like myself, can park up the taxi in the driveway and use another vehicle for general use, unfortunately many drivers cannot and the obstacles you suggest are in place (particularly road tax)  are not practical. I don't believe road tax will be an issue in any event, tamper proof discs may be. but it'd extremely unlikely any issue would arise if drivers reduce level of insurance provided they don't work the taxi
