London's black-cab drivers: 'Four cabbies pay more tax than Uber'

Licensed Taxi Drivers Association weighs up court action claiming app's licence should be reviewed over its corporation tax payments

London's black-cab drivers are considering court action to try to revoke Uber's licence to operate in the city, citing the fact that the ride-hailing app firm pays no corporation tax in the UK.

It emerged last October that Uber paid just 22,134 in UK corporation tax in the most recent financial year despite making an 866,000 profit. The tax paid related to amounts deferred from previous years when Uber's UK operation made a loss.
