The representatives of US ridesharing service Uber stress in a point of view they are open to collaborate with the authorities in Romania to develop some digital ways simplifying the declaration of revenues for the persons conducting independent activities and maintain that the service is 100 percent digital and fiscalised.
This reaction comes following the information supplied by the Confederation of Certified Transporters and Operators in Romania (COTAR), according to which the National Agency for Fiscal Administration (ANAF) has asked Uber Netherlands for a detailed list of all the transport system users and all the rides operated last year, in order to check if all drivers have declared the revenues thus obtained.
“Uber service in Romania is 100 percent digital and fiscalised. All partners in Romania collaborate with Uber under a fiscal entity, and passengers receive a fiscal invoice after each ride. The Uber partners are independent contractors and are liable for paying taxes. The circumstances of each are different – only they know which are the incomes from other sources and which are the deductible costs,” the quoted document reads.
At the same time, to facilitate the revenue declaration, Uber provides the partners a detailed situation of the revenues generated through the Uber platform.
“Moreover, we have concluded a partnership with a local fiscal consultancy company in order to provide all partners with independent financial consultancy in respect to the manner in which they should declare the income made with Uber. We are open to collaborate with the authorities – same as we do in Estonia and Sweden – in order to develop modern, digital means simplifying the declaration of revenues for the persons who carry out independent activities,” Uber notes.
A COTAR release says that ANAF has initiated the actions to collect the undeclared amounts earned by providing unauthorised taxi services, in Uber system.
COTAR has also revealed that a person from the Bucharest’s District 6 collected over RON 60,000 last year working as a driver under the Uber system.
