Key points
- Kings Heathrow Taxi is not VAT registered.
- A standard receipt is available on request.
- Payment is made online when the booking is placed.
Heathrow taxi VAT receipts: what can be issued
Kings Heathrow Taxi is not VAT registered, so it cannot issue a VAT receipt showing VAT charged by the business. A standard receipt is available on request. The distinction matters when requesting paperwork: the available document is a receipt for the booking payment, not a VAT receipt or a VAT invoice.
Payment is completed online at booking by card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Cash is not accepted and the driver is not paid during the journey. A receipt request therefore relates to the online payment for the confirmed booking. The terms do not add a card surcharge to that payment.
Heathrow taxi VAT receipts: how the booked amount is set
The amount paid is the fixed door-to-door fare for the selected route and vehicle. It includes the £7 Heathrow charge, tolls, ULEZ, fuel and traffic delay. There is no peak surcharge or surge pricing, and the published fare is the same at any time of day or on any day of the week.
For groups, the 6 seater and 8 seater also have fixed fares per route. The amount is charged for the vehicle rather than separately for every passenger. A standard receipt can be requested for the payment, but the business's VAT status does not change according to the route, vehicle size or whether the journey is personal or business travel.
