not sure, but may be able to use any unused tax allowance from wife?

No no no definitely not. The only time any allowance can be transfered between couples is if they are entitled to claim married couples allowance and to do that 1 of them needs to have been born prior to 6th April 1935.

If the private hire taxi is a partnership between both you and your spouse then you can allocate a larger proportion of the partnerships profits to her if her tax free allowance isn't being used up elsewhere. She would need to be registered as self-employed too.

I once had to do the accounts for a bunch of "Representatives"; funny thing they too did exactly the same number of private miles as each other.
Similarly a bunch of "Private Hire Drivers" used to get paid a net figure, a minor percentage of the work booked for them through a controller.
Most of them put down the net figure and ticked the box that read "less than 15K" or whatever it was (I notice that this year's paper return has got a bit more complex and expects "expenses" to be analysed).
Crooks? Well there always was a big fuss about who paid for the CRB check, especially when a customer demanded another right up to date one to demonstrate their "due diligence", to use a PC term.
