Default Taxi complaint - how do I make one?

are self employed and do not take enough to break the VAT threshold.
Therefore a receipt is not legally required.


Perhaps. However, is is or is it not good service to offer one in all
circumstances, given that many users are on expenses? A piece of
paper costs next to nothing, while the time taken to write a price on
a receipt is minimal. It could easily be done while the passenger is
sorting out their payment.
