Getting robbed,"taxy time"

Anybody come across this when being charged for training,hire etc.
This works out at block/tacho time + ten minutes.

To explain,time was logged from engine start to engine stop and includes time idling and run up checks etc,tacho time was also used (and rounded up )when added to log.

Times were put in log and ten minutes added to total time,it works out cost wise at £23.33 extra on top of total cost.
When questioned they said its "taxy time" and that's what they charge everyone,surely this is not legal unless terms are displayed and agreed to if you choose to hire or take up training.

Thoughts on this and its legality ?
