TfL reorganisation

  • Reference: 2017/2289
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
Transport for London is currently undergoing a transformation, which includes significant back office organisational change. A large number of the staff affected belong to the Unite Union.

Uber and Taxes

  • Reference: 2017/2287
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2017
In 2013 and 2014, Uber London had a total turnover of £12.4 million and paid a total of £28,796 in UK tax. In 2015, it had a turnover of £23.3 million and paid £411,000 in UK tax. The company does not pay VAT in the UK. As Steve McNamara, the general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) has stated: 'Any four black-cab drivers are paying more tax than Uber.' What sum does the Mayor think Uber should be contributing annually, as its fair share of the upkeep of London's roads?
