4/4 *data regarding Uber’s “shifting” of hundreds of million in profits can be found in the recent @cictar.bsky.social Uber report, co-produced by Workers First: cictar.org/all-research...

text reading “this report argues that misclassification sits at the centre of the Uber model” a subtitle reads “Costing the Uber model in Aotearoa”

text reading “It underestimates revenue… while overestimating losses.” a subtitle reads “Costing the Uber model in Aotearoa”

text reading “We estimated 2023 grossbooking revenue to be $867 million… That year Rasier and Portier incurred a corporate income tax expense of just 1.2 million.” a subtitle reads “Costing the Uber model in Aotearoa”

text reading “”Intercompany service fees” account for 83-94% of revenue.” a subtitle reads “Costing the Uber model in Aotearoa”

Uber shifts 100s of millions of dollars out of the NZ economy while paying a pittance in tax.

This @cictar.bsky.social/Workers First report shows that in 2023 they paid $1.2 million in tax while transferring $200 million+ in “intercompany service fees” out of NZ.
