Two British taxi companies, Delta Taxis and Veezu, have initiated a crowdfunding campaign to finance their ongoing legal battle against Uber, which seeks to change VAT regulations in private-hire vehicle operations outside of London. A Supreme Court ruling in July could affect fare structures, potentially increasing costs by at least 20%. The taxi firms argue this change could harm many small operators and impact the availability of services crucial for vulnerable passengers. With costs exceeding £1 million so far, the cab firms are fighting for a traditional model they deem vital to British taxi culture.
The appeals court case may lead to a 20% increase in taxi fares outside London, significantly affecting the cost of cab journeys for many passengers.
Cab companies assert that changing VAT regulations could push small operators out of business, risking 25,000 self-employed drivers and diminishing services.
