Susanna Bengtsson is the coordinator for the Swedish Tax agency’s review of the taxibranschen.
“We have an ongoing control that we will keep on with throughout the fall,” she says.
Sveriges Radio did stories about the service Uber Pop last summer, said three of the ten Pop-drivers that they were not paying the tax. Service Uber pop is now disused.
Tax is currently doing an assessment of the drivers who paid too little tax. So far, 304 Uber pop-driver withheld taxes and has therefore become upptaxerade.
in Total the Swedish Tax agency claimed in sek 6.9 million for unpaid taxes: income taxes, vat, and tax penalties.
Review terms the individuals who driven for Uber pop during the last year.
Susanna Bengtsson believes that the Tax authority’s control has great importance to get a good competition.
– It is of the utmost importance for it to be an equal competition in the taxi market.
Right now, there is this final project in taxiutredningen effected on behalf of the government. One of the areas that we are investigating is how the rules for car-sharing between private individuals.
the Echo experience, that the investigation will propose that the running of any other person in his car, against payment, are not able to define it as car pooling.
When we interview Ubers Europachef in Amsterdam and it is clear that the company hopes that in the future they can open up similar services such as Uber pop, that is, a service where individuals can drive people towards payment.
But on the basis of the sources as the Echo spoken with, this type of car pooling is, therefore, not have any support of the investigation.
today, there is no clear indication in the act what are the rules regarding car-pooling. The investigation will, in its proposal to define carpooling as: people that will be in the same direction and which share the cost and where no profit is involved.
