Uber manages to paralyse VAT sanctions in Spain while litigating for 1,600 million in the UK
La Audiencia Nacional suspende la ejecución de dos multas impuestas por la Agencia Tributaria por este impuesto correspondientes a los ejercicios 2016, 2017 y 2018
Uber is engaged in a battle against tax collection agencies in several of the countries where it operates. In Spain, the war between the tourist vehicle with driver (VTC) platform and taxis was legendary between 2014 and 2019. Insults between workers on both sides made it to television, with strikes, traffic cuts, and serious altercations.
Now, the company's battle, based in San Francisco (United States), focuses on value-added tax (VAT) and is more discreet. It takes place through requirements, motions, rulings, and court appeals. In the UK alone, it maintains a dispute worth 1.4 billion pounds (1.6 billion euros). In Spain, the dispute is also in court and, for now, the National Court has suspended the fines imposed on it by the Tax Agency.
