This is a big deal for many people. I arrived in Perth, summoned up an Uber, and it arrived in a few minutes, all billed to my regular credit card back home. Amazing really.


I wonder how they manage taxes.


For European, if Uber is registered in Europe and is the service provider, it would be the taxes of the country of the client.


It looks like this is not the case,

"It is also this setup that also allows Uber to pay what their critics say is less than their ‘fair share’ of tax – Uber pays no VAT and, last year, only paid £411,000 in Corporation Tax."
