Uber is a chavscum organisation that has only changed or are pretending to change because of the threat of being banned. Of course the netcitizens of today call their expansion innovative. Their culture is rotten to the core and by association so are their users.

I don't want to (to busy) and can't be bothered getting into an argument with pap assertions like the laughable codswallop you are spouting.
I expect you're too busy leading the debates at the Oxford Union.I'm done. (really)
Lots of people upset at how Uber operates, how much tax they pay, what sort of contracts their employees have, and suchlike.
Very little of which is of any concern whatsoever to the man in the street, who just wants to get from A to B in as convenient and 'modern' fashion as possible.
Even if you hate Uber, you should be thankful for them as they have given Black Cabs and private hire the absolutely massive kick up the arse they desperately needed for years, and that's got to be good for everyone.

I've lived in a few English towns, and some are great for cabs, and some are really crap. In my home town of Luton I'd get annoyed if a minicab took more than three minutes to arrive after calling one. In Basingstoke you'd be lucky to get a can within an hour, and somewhat worse during busy periods. Police State said:
The worse kind of rapacious corporation I can think of, that cares nothing about the rule of law until hit hits their profit line.

Would you agree that the Uber type system is the future. me going around London on mopeds for a couple of years in order to learn The Knowledge is incredibly inefficient.I don't want to live in an uber kind of world.
The app based system makes sense,
The All Parliamentary Group on Responsible Tax recently released a report "Building a fairer system: Tax and the UK's gig economy"
https://www.appgresponsibletax.org.uk/wp-content/u...
As well as giving a very basic overview of some of the ways in which it claims the UK is missing out on some tax revenues, it does specifically mention Uber & VAT
As mentioned in the report Maugham (the QC so vigorously pursuing Uber re VAT), was a member of the panel giving evidence to the Group in the session on which this report is partly based

Yes, but the beginning of the end of the 'speculation' phase is drawing near now
The initial encounter of Maugham's case with the FTT (Tax) is on 11 July...
I think it will be possible to judge from that if this is a dead horse, or one that might do something exciting with just the gentlest flogging

The expected day at the Tribunal (today) is cancelled

The Zipvit case Court of Appeal Judgment is here (https://www.pumptax.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Zipvit-v-HMRC-final-approved-29-6-18.pdf)
Para 1. shows why the case is relelvant
I am no expert in such matters, but I simply see this as a way of further delaying the point in time at which a court (now looking to be the HC) considers the question: Should Uber fares have been subject to VAT?
To have that question answered is Maugham's intent.
IMO Uber is clearly (and rightly from it's perspective) working hard to delay / avoid that question being considered. The use of a case such as Zipvit to achieve that is no surprise

You prefer a world where a tax dodging black cab driver can pick and choose his fares and earn £100k plus for driving a car around London? Heh
Having been using a lot of cabs in London recently, I’ve realised that black cabs are seldom much cheaper than Uber. They’re also more available, and more reliable on time.Most people believe the opposite - well done Uber marketing
