"knowingly disguised an employment relationship as a business contract to evade its obligations as an employer"
"filed a lawsuit against the company, proposing a revision of the calculation of social security contributions"
"under the guise of a simple booking platform, Uber is in reality bound to drivers by a legal relationship of subordination"
"Regarding the status of drivers, recent rulings by the Court of Cassation have confirmed their independent contractor status and thus clarified the framework within which we operate,"
Urssaf's Paris-region unit concluded that Uber misrepresented contracts and disguised employment relationships as business contracts to evade employer obligations for about 71,000 drivers from 2019 to 2022. The social charges unit proposed that Uber France owes €1.7 billion in unpaid payroll taxes. Uber France reported that Urssaf filed a lawsuit proposing a revision of social security contribution calculations and said it contested the basis of the lawsuit while Urssaf maintained its position. Uber reported it could not estimate the potential cost and did not set aside provisions. Uber cited Court of Cassation rulings affirming independent contractor status for drivers.
