Uber has said it may soon have to start charging its UK customers VAT at 20%, after a High Court judgement, pushing up the cost of rides.
It comes after a judge ruled that UK private hire taxi operators must make contracts with their customers.
It could have far-reaching consequences for the industry and other private hire firms may also have to add VAT.
It follows a separate judgement this year which found Uber drivers should be treated as workers not contractors.
