Court overturns Uber U.K. court victory over rival operators, Reuters says

Uber’s competing taxi operators will not face a 20% tax charge on their profit margins outside of London, U.K., after a court overturned a prior determination that private-hire operators enter into a contract with passengers, Reuters’ Sam Tobin reports. The ride-hailing giant brought the case following a 2021 ruling by the U.K.’s Supreme Court that its drivers were workers, the author notes.
