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 the financial year for which the fee is payable, you are liable to pay the authorisation fee at the end of the financial year.
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:
Authorisation Fees 2019/20

| Fewer than 20,000 | $500 |
| 20,000 or more and fewer than 50,000 | $750 |

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.
