Minicab fares in London could rise by 20% as High Court rules that companies rather than drivers are liable for contracts - meaning minicab firms could be responsible for charging VAT. 

This article has nothing to do with London’s finest Taxis, but the Mail goes with the false headline:

Taxi fares could rise by 20% as High Court rules that companies rather than drivers are liable for contracts - meaning hire firms could be responsible for charging VAT. 

They also post a misleading image of a line of London Taxis, instead of a line of minicabs 

If they can’t get this right…what else do they get wrong?

Not surprisingly, the link to the story has been removed from their Twitter (X) and Facebook platforms after a deluge of complaint comments from real Taxi drivers. 

Unfortunately, the story is still up on their website.

London Taxi PR have made this post:

Editorial complaint filed this morning with @MailOnline over yesterday's totally inaccurate news item regarding fares + misleading imagery. A wholly incorrect piece that we've highlighted & requested an apology be forthcoming. Woeful sloppy journalism, which we will not stand for. 

Unless this is corrected & apology issued we will take further action.
