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?
