The expense administering on ride sourcing and the "sharing economy" comes after the state government propelled legitimate activity against Uber drivers for claimed breaks of the Passenger Transport Act. Uber, a US-based transport system financed by investors, is presently said to be worth near $10 billion and works in more than 50 nations. In Sydney, it is estimated that up to 10 per cent of all taxi passengers now use Uber. The company has offered to pay the fines of any of its drivers who are prosecuted under state laws. It is uncertain whether the company will also offer to pay their drivers’ GST bills. The ATO said all it was doing was applying a level playing field. It would not comment on the implications for state governments seeking to regulate ride sourcing. Uber could, however, be captured in the new tax net being legislated by the federal government to cover digital companies such as Google which pay little tax in Australia. Uber’s Australia general manager David Rohrsheim told The Daily Telegraph the decision would add unnecessary red tape for thousands of ordinary Australians.">Uber drivers for claimed breaks of the Passenger Transport Act.
