Small Public Service Vehicle (Emergency Measure COVID-19) (Fees) Regulations 2021

The purpose of the Small Public Service Vehicle (Emergency Measure COVID-19) (Fees) Regulations 2021 is to give effect to a renewal fee waiver by temporarily amending the renewal fees referenced in Schedule 1 to the Taxi Regulation (Small Public Service Vehicle) Regulations 2015 through a standalone, time bound clause for the calendar year 2022.

As a result ‘standard’ renewal fees will be waived for the calendar year 2022.

Most likely they will throw in the Motor tax and NCT fee refund fer 2022 aswell ??

That is if'n they ever actually tell us how to claim the promised refund fer the above.

[john m]

Knowing them it will probably require a Tax clearance cert to show you are still active .They cant have multi plate owners claiming for parked up cars on mass .The rebate should be automatic they know if you renewed or not from their own database .

[Shallowhal]

That was purely for MPO's....letting a plate to be inactive for another year.

[Belker]

I agree John M it should be automatic just the same as suitability is at the moment.
Most likely when the civil servants are finished we will need to fill out 2 'War and Peace' forms fer the poxy 150.

Fair play.

Nice one.I better stock up on the isopon and duct tape.

Looks like taxis reaching end of life in 2022 are getting a stay of execution until end of 2022...

That's a total of over 4,000 taxis getting a life extension.  The fleet is only 18,996 vehicles (incl WATs, limos etc) so about 20%.  Imagine if 20% of taxis disappeared over the Covid 2 years!

[mercenary for hire]

This is good news.That's 4000 heroes that aren't sweating about getting finance.Lets be honest they weren't gonna leave over a change of vehicle, they would have ended up renting or borrowing from somewhere and working extra hours to pay it off.

Fair play to the NTA for not leaving it until September/Oct/November to tell the affected drivers.Erm is gonna be furious!Think I'll buy a lotto ticket..

These are RC's stats from his trade statistics page at the top.



That's some number of inactive licences!  RC's total is 32.5k vehicle licences, 19k active and 13.5k inactive (~40% inactive)

Good few idle rentals and limos in there.The two year period to keep the plates lapsed should mean drivers can stay out of the industry until this has finished.I wouldn't have reactivated mine only for I was worried I couldn't get through the NCT in time.My bank account only started to feel the pain after I paid my insurance.Now I have to think about working.Awful stuff.

This proposed regulation will repeal the Small Public Service Vehicle (Emergency Measure Covid-19) Regulations 2021, and will provide emergency COVID-19 protection to the 2,095 vehicles due to reach their maximum permissible age during 2022 for the first time,


You're good for another year also Doc.

So work would have to increase by 50% on current figures  to stay the same if all the sleepers come back into the game.
