Yes, we are open for business. However, we are not going to advertise vehicles currently, out of respect for you, our customers. It would be in our opinion insensitive of us to show vehicles that in this time of economic slowdown many of you
would struggle to afford the repayments in the current climate. We don’t mean this to sound condescending but with schools closing, no flights, no cruises, no nightlife. Social media is full of stories of drivers and companies struggling to get by. Yes, we could do a special sales gimmick, but we are not going to; it’s insensitive and taking advantage of the current situation. If you require a vehicle by all means contact us, if now isn’t the right time then we will see you in the future. However, we are also seeing on social media how many of you are prepared to assist your local communities by delivering shopping to the elderly and vulnerable, or taking them to the shops personally free of charge and other such stories FOR THIS WE COMMEND YOU and hope you will stay fit and healthy to be able to keep up the good work. Hopefully the current situation will pass swiftly but you can still contact us on Facebook, by phone or on our website.

Every year, private hire drivers often have to pay £150+ to an accountant to complete their tax return. Let’s be honest, we would all like to avoid
this if we could. There is a way drivers can complete their accounting affordably for only £40, with no hidden fees! The solution is using an easy and secure HMRC recognised app called
ClickTo.Tax, available online at
clicktotax.com. You can use it on your mobile or computer. It’s very easy to do and the entire process can be completed in as little as 5 minutes. To get started, from 6 April create a free account online on the
ClickTo.Tax website. Once registered, you simply complete a straightforward form where you provide your income and expenses such as running costs (fuel, insurance, servicing, MOT etc), licence costs, and much more. This all helps to ensure your tax bill is as small as possible. If you need any help, the friendly team are available via live chat, contact form or email. After completing the form, you will be given your tax calculation, if you’re happy with this you can then go ahead with the £40 payment. Once the payment has been made,
ClickTo.Tax will electronically submit the tax return directly to HMRC – no stress or worries. It’s literally click to tax.

To ease the impact of the Coronavirus outbreak on the UK taxi trade, a three- month finance payment holiday initiative has been agreed by LEVC and Black
Horse and is available nationwide. TX drivers on any existing Black Horse finance contract can register their interest for a three-month suspension of repayments by completing their details at
www.levc.com/payment-holiday. LEVC CEO Joerg Hofmann said: “This is an extremely critical time for the taxi trade and the payment holiday will play a role in softening the impact that Coronavirus is having on taxi drivers. We recognise and celebrate the efforts they make daily to keep Britain moving – and this three-month bridge will hopefully ease the burden drivers now face.” In addition LEVC recently announced a temporary extended closure of its manufacturing operations in Coventry, Ansty, in response to the acceleration of COVID-19 and its impact on the supply chain and the operational efficiency of the business. An extended three-week shutdown period has now commenced, replacing the planned one week at Easter. LEVC CEO Joerg Hofmann said: “LEVC is committed to the wellbeing of our employees and keeping all jobs secure throughout this difficult period. Our strategic direction remains on track and further growth planned this year, taking these measures to adjust production now will ensure that we are ready to react and supply the markets again ASAP.”
