Will the Minister outline if any more financial support will be made available to taxis drivers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic?
Answered by Minister for Economy | Answered on 25/06/2021
Taxi firms with a turnover of less than £85,000 who meet the eligibility for the latest round of the Economi Resilience Fund can apply for business support via their local authorities. The closing date for applications is 30 June.
Subject to eligibility taxi businesses can access support from the UK Government through the Job Retention and Self Employed Income Support Scheme.
