Uber Requires Drivers To Get Hungarian Tax Number
- 2 Feb 2016 8:00 AM
All Uber taxi drivers must provide their tax number and personal data in order to stay in the ride-sharing company’s system as of February 1, the company announced yesterday. Also from February 1, Uber will issue invoices on all fares, in the name of the driver, in line with Hungarian regulations.
Uber also underlined that passengers are insured on all rides.
There are no “black fares,” the company said, as its system registers all fares, based on which it transfers funds to drivers’ bank accounts.
Taxi driving in Hungary was cash-based and was part of the grey economy, but the Uber technology can reduce black fares, the company emphasised.
