Income tax, perhaps. Corporation tax, probably not?

If you can structure your work and business correctly, I'm sure you can bypass such taxes. Assuming you don't want to renounce your nationality!

Black cabs are more accessible by default, but I'd assume if I called ahead for any taxi I'd need to let them know of any special needs, the same as if I needed to let them know I wanted a taxi for 7 people?

Shouldn't there be an area for adding special requests such as accessibility? You filter to the vehicles that are able and willing to take this passenger's money.

I can only assume that, as contracted drivers, they have to worry about scratches that may be caused by loading and unloading wheelchairs? Am I overlooking some kind of personal discrimination expecting people to be better?

One that nobody else has mentioned.

I'd suggest avoiding sending anybody your CV that shows you haven't touched it for 6 months. Change the date or remove it.

If you're keeping it, make sure it's current whenever you're sending it to somebody - it will at least look like you've considered the company/person you're sending it to.
