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?

Are they outside of London proper? That would be the reason, I
imagine.

Unlikely. Taxi and hire car legislation in London is quite different from
that outside.
