Rideshare giant Uber Australia appealed to overturn six payroll tax assessments made by the NSW Chief Commissioner of State Revenue for the years 2015 to 2020 totalling more than $81.5 million .

Uber argued its transport services were provided directly by drivers to riders and existed under contracts agreed to when users sign up to its app.

NSW Supreme Court Justice David Hammerschlag ruled that Uber did not pay drivers a wage.
