Some fees will be waived and a fare review will be launched says the Infrastructure minister.
The Department for Infrastructure has already launched two schemes to support the sector, which has struggled to meet demand since Covid restrictions were lifted.
Driver Vehicle Agency fees will be waived for new drivers in 2021/22, and the one taxi metre test - required to make a fare change - will also be scrapped.She added: "In order to assist the industry to rebuild and to encourage new drivers to enter the business, I am proposing that my Department will provide financial support to cover the fees for new drivers who successfully obtain their taxi driver and vehicle licences from April 21 to March 22.
"I want to continue to help the industry during these difficult times. These measures would go some way to address the issues raised by the taxi industry to assist it with recovery from the pandemic and to importantly provide support to attract new drivers to the industry."
