英国最高法院裁定Uber无需支付20%的增值税, UK Supreme Court rules Uber doesn't have to pay a 20% VAT, keeping taxi fares affordable.

英国最高法院驳回了Uber的上诉,裁定在伦敦境外的私人出租出租车经营人无须就其利润率缴纳20%的增值税。 The UK Supreme Court dismissed Uber's appeal, ruling that private-hire taxi operators outside London are not required to pay a 20% VAT charge on their profit margins. 这一决定保护出租车的可负担性,尤其是在低收入地区。 This decision protects the affordability of taxis, especially in low-income areas. 同时,爱沙尼亚启动的Bolt公司也避免了类似的增值税指控,尽管HMRC计划在上诉法院对这项裁决提出质疑。 Meanwhile, the Estonian startup Bolt also avoided similar VAT charges, though HMRC plans to challenge this ruling at the Court of Appeal.
