DOF certifies that taxi and limousine companies are current with their New York City business taxes when they apply for licenses or renewals. This is called a tax clearance.

If you own a taxi or limousine company and the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) informs you that they need a clearance letter, you can request it by contacting DOF.
