About this plate
SKAT does not call this a taxi plate, it calls it "20% (Taxi og sygetransportere)", after the reduced registration-tax rate, and the class therefore covers patient-transport vehicles as well as taxis and hire limousines. The plate is a WHITE plate: it is the NUMBER that marks the class, which is why it deserves a series rather than a colour note. It is also one of the two survivors of the 6 June 2012 consolidation, 98/99 for this class and 76/77 for diplomats stayed put while every other per-kind block was merged.
