TRAINING PROGRAMME: Taxi and PHV specialists Eazitax and SaaS partner

Eazitax, an accountancy firm specialising in taxi and private hire tax returns, has today announced its partnership with safety providers SaaS (Safety as a Standard).

As part of the free Eazitax Operator Partnership programme, SaaS will be providing free safety talks and discounts for operators. Eazitax hosts regular training workshops for operators and trade organisations around the country, SaaS will now be attending these alongside the Eazitax team.

The Eazitax Operator Partnership was launched at the start of 2022 to assist Operators with the Conditionality legislation coming in April. Conditionality tax checks will apply to taxi and private-hire drivers when renewing their licence. It could lead to a record-low of licence renewals when the deadline comes, the programme was launched to provide integral tax training to drivers.

Jamie Holden, Eazitax Marketing & Partnerships Manager, said: “We’re really excited to be working closely with SaaS, their certifications are crucial for safety-conscious taxi and private-hire drivers, and we always recommend their health and safety programmes to our clients. Anand and the team give training and certifications of the highest quality and are accessible with incredible value.”

Anand Dave, Business Development Manager at SaaS, said: “Here at Safety as a Standard (SaaS) along with the team of Eazitax, we are committed to making the private hire and transport industry safer and more aware of all the important issues that are paramount today more than ever. In support of this we are proud to be working with Eazitax and their support of our training programmes and us with their services in helping the industry with all their needs.”
