The October 2025 edition of TaxiPoint Magazine is now live, featuring the latest coverage of UK taxi and private hire news, enforcement updates, and industry opinion.
This month’s issue leads with in-depth reporting from the Transport Committee inquiry into cross-border licensing and the growing calls for national minimum standards across England. Operators including Uber, Bolt, Veezu and Addison Lee share evidence outlining how new licensing rules could shape the industry’s future.
The edition also includes full analysis on the Government’s proposed VAT changes for private hire operators, dubbed by critics as the “taxi tax”. The article explores how the measure could shift demand back towards traditional taxis by raising private hire fares.
Other highlights include a feature on ongoing problems with bilking and fare evasion, insights from HMRC on Making Tax Digital for drivers, and an exclusive look at Ubiquitous’ backing of London Taxi PR’s new ‘Choose Taxi’ campaign.
Regional coverage examines major council decisions and enforcement activity nationwide, from Cheltenham and Derby to Bath, Walsall and Bolton. In London, the issue reviews the Mayor’s takeover of Oxford Street and its potential impact on black cab access, plus Freenow’s rollout of virtual queuing technology at Heathrow Airport.
The magazine also carries updates from the trade’s biggest names, including LEVC’s extended partnership with TVS Supply Chain Solutions, Freenow’s safety drive with Stop Hate UK, and Veezu’s national rollout of its anti-spiking campaign.
Chief Editor Perry Richardson introduces the edition with news that TaxiPoint Premium has officially moved to Substack. The move gives subscribers direct access to exclusive analysis and long-form content.
