Everything soars except wages, there is only so much they can squeeze out of people before there is nothing left.

Good. Uber drivers should pay the same tax all their competitors do.

“Tax evasion loophole closed, so that Uber has to pay VAT just the same as other taxis”

The people that lose out here are the poorest in society; this government really makes me sick.

It only increases costs in London.
*The impact of the change will be restricted to the capital, where local regulations forbid ride hailing operators from acting as an agent. Under the agency model, which Uber is currently making its default operating model elsewhere in the UK, the driver – not the company – is providing the transport.*

This isn’t a good thing. Ubers are a mess in london, we need better supply not less.
Anyone supporting this nonsense needs to give their head a wobble.
It will accelerate driverless cars putting all drivers across the country on unemployment.
It’s a quick tax rake without thinking about the long term

Uber prices are already outrageous. Just slightly less outrageous than black cabs.
£30 to go 6 miles from the city centre to my house after a night out. Happened twice prior to Christmas, the best bit was being stood around in the cold for over an hour waiting for a driver.
Uber ran out most of the taxi ranks in my city and now don’t even bother to turn up themselves.
