Authorised providers of a taxi service or booking service are required to pay an authorisation fee at the end of each financial year. All authorised service providers must pay regardless of the number of passenger service transactions carried out in that year. |
Authorisation fee liability
If you are authorised at any time during a financial year, you are required to pay the authorisation fee by the date specified on the relevant Fee Notice issued to you. That date is usually soon after the end of the financial year.
What if I surrender my authorisation part way through the financial year?
If you are an authorised service provider (ASP) and surrender your authorisation part way through a financial year, you still need to pay the authorisation fee for that financial year.
For example, Tony is an ASP who decided to surrender his authorisation on 25 July 2023. Tony will still need to pay an authorisation fee for financial year 2023/2024 as he was authorised for part of that financial year.
If Tony knew he no longer wanted to be authorised, he should have surrendered his authorisation before the end of the previous financial year (30 June 2023).
The authorisation fee Tony needs to pay for the financial year 2023/2024 will be based on the number of the passenger service transactions that were carried out during the period 1 July 2023 to 25 July 2023.
Notice of CPI increase to authorisation fees for 2023/24
Taxi and booking service providers must be authorised by the Point to Point Transport Commissioner and pay an annual authorisation fee determined by the total number of passenger service transactions carried out in that financial year.
From 1 July 2023, authorisation fees will increase in accordance with clause 45 of the Point to Point Transport (Taxis and Hire Vehicles) Regulation 2017.
Authorisation fee calculations
The authorisation fee amount is based on the number of passenger service transactions you carry out in that financial year. If you are authorised to provide both taxi and booking services, the passenger service transactions for each authorisation are combined. Authorisation fees are set out in the tables below:

Passenger service transactions
Your passenger service levy assessments are used to calculate the fee. For more information see the Passenger Service Levy page.
Authorisation fee notice
You will receive an authorisation fee notice each year. The authorisation fee notice will include your authorisation fee amount, due date and payment options, which include direct debit, credit card, cheque and BPAY.
Failure to pay authorisation fee
You will have 21 days to pay your authorisation fee. If you have not paid your authorisation fee in full by the due date, your authorisation will be suspended and the unpaid amount will be referred to Revenue NSW to commence collection activities on our behalf. Debts referred to Revenue NSW will incur additional fees which may increase each time they attempt to contact you. If you do not pay any outstanding fee to Revenue NSW, your authorisation will be cancelled. You will still be required to pay the outstanding debt, even if your authorisation is cancelled.
Annual changes to authorisation fees
Authorisation fees may increase to reflect a rise in the Consumer Price Index. The Commissioner will publish a notice on the website detailing the applicable fees for the next financial year each year. Any changes will be based on the March CPI figures.
