The first is by the estimable Izabella Kaminska of FT Alphaville, who has been dogging the question of Uber’s VAT tax liability. Recall that Uber lost a ground-breaking employment tribunal ruling in 2016 over whether its drivers were employees and therefore entitled to protections like minimum wage and national insurance contributions. Uber appealed and lost, and is now appealing to the Supreme Court.
While litigation is a crapshoot, coverage of the initial ruling against Uber strongly suggested its odds of winning an appeal were low.
