In February 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that UK-based Uber drivers were workers rather than self-employed, altering the company’s tax obligations.
Fast-forward to July 2023, and Uber has won a case at the High Court, meaning other taxi companies could soon be subject to the same obligations.
Additionally, experts have suggested these tax obligations could be backdated for taxi companies as they were for Uber.
This means taxi companies may have to raise prices to cover the extra costs, potentially driving away customers and leading to financial issues for the companies later.
