Taxiwerq

What Taxiwerq does

Taxiwerq is a Netherlands-based payroll services company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Hoogeveen, specializing exclusively in the Dutch taxi and passenger transport industry. The company acts as the employer of record for taxi drivers, processing payroll, social contributions, pension administration via Pensioenfonds Vervoer, and bearing the financial risks of employee sickness and disability. Drivers work under the operational direction of taxi company clients but are employed and paid through Taxiwerq, enabling client taxi operators to outsource HR administration while maintaining operational control. The firm serves approximately 120 taxi company clients across the Netherlands and places 2,600 drivers on its payroll.

The company's core offerings span payroll services, HR administration (contract management, absence management, salary administration, document management), and driver training and certification through its own driving school, Taxiwerq Academy. Supporting infrastructure includes the Qennisbank knowledge base, which hosts online courses from Sociaal Fonds Mobiliteit covering professional development topics such as wheelchair transport safety, dementia awareness, and aggression management. Taxiwerq also operates Taxivacatures.nl, a dedicated job platform for the taxi vertical. The company holds NEN 4400-1 certification, NRTO Quality Standard certification, is controlled by Sociaal Fonds Mobiliteit, and holds premium partnership status with KNV (Koninklijk Nederlands Vervoer).

Taxiwerq generates revenue through managed payroll services on a customized, quote-based pricing model with no publicly disclosed rates. It operates through six wholly-owned Dutch private limited subsidiaries (BV) that segregate payroll, HR, personnel, and administrative functions. The business is sales-led, acquiring clients through direct outreach, the corporate website, and dedicated phone/email contact across eight specialized internal departments. Geographically confined to the Netherlands, Taxiwerq competes on domain specialization, regulatory compliance, and integrated training rather than technology differentiation.
