Operators of privately owned taxis are often given refunds from tax payments including the consumption tax because the business operator tax exemption point system based on the Consumption Tax Act applies to them (since their sales are less than the prescribed value); therefore, the fare of privately owned taxis is set lower than that of corporate taxis.
個人タクシーでは消費税法に基づく事業者免税点制度が適用されることから（売り上げが規定値以下のため）消費税の納税義務を免除されており、その分、個人タクシー「個人タクシー」と「法人タクシー」よりも運賃が安くなっている。
