True. Do black cabs have to pay the cc?

TfL: "You are also exempt if your vehicle is a London licensed minicab
or taxi (licensed with TfL Taxi and Private Hire)."

I think my local (suburban) minicabs do have to pay the cc, even though
they're TfL licensed, so I wonder which minicabs are exempt? Perhaps they
have to be based in central London?

The TfL site does not give the impression there's any such
discrimination (assuming they are both registered with TTPH).

Strange. There are different sorts of taxi licences at least.
