Uber ordered to pay $81m payroll tax on driver wages
Australia's High Court ruled that payments Uber makes to drivers count as wages, ordering the company to pay $81m in payroll tax.
Australia's High Court has ordered Uber to pay $81m in payroll tax after ruling that driver payments are wages. Six of the seven judges agreed that because drivers have a legal obligation to transport passengers once they accept a request, the payments constitute wages. The bill covers NSW drivers for work done from 2015 to 2020 and cannot be appealed.
