Australia's High Court rules Uber owes $81m payroll tax

Original: Uber pays its drivers ‘wages’ and is liable for $81m payroll tax bill, Australia’s high court rules https:// programming

Australia's High Court has ruled that Uber pays its drivers 'wages', making the company liable for an $81 million payroll tax bill. The decision means Uber's drivers are treated as employees for payroll tax purposes, a major setback for the company's long-standing claim that drivers are independent contractors. The ruling could set a precedent for gig-economy worker classification in Australia.
