Old Banger Taxies got further life extensions.
NCT costs were waived fer a year.
Motor tax was waived fer a year (after filling out forms).
Taxi suitability costs were waived fer a year or more.

The Govt reduced the excise charge on fuel by something like 20% in summer 2022 - they could reintroduce that at any moment.

@ Belker - everything you wrote is about money.  Remember a dead man's shroud has no pockets.  You should stop obsessing about money and FN bonuses.  There's a good chance you'll be happier.  We certainly will be  :P  :P  :P
