		</div><p>An epic court battle against Uber in the UK took another twist as the car-sharing giant came a step closer to being liable for a potential £1.5 billion in unpaid VAT.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The Good Law Project won a case against bosses at HM Revenues and Customs who must now reveal whether the agency has assessed Uber&#8217;s VAT tax liabilities last month.</p>
<p>But Uber subsequently filed an appeal against the decision before HMRC would have been forced to make the disclosure.</p>
<p>On Monday, the Good Law Project, which is run by anti-Brexit campaigner Jolyon Maugham QC, filed documents with the Court of Appeal to have Uber&#8217;s own appeal urgently thrown out.</p>
<p>Mr Maugham told the PA news agency: &#8220;The more time passes without an assessment being raised the more VAT is lost &#8211; forever.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whatever costs Uber run up pursuing a hopeless appeal will be dwarfed by the £4m or so lost every week if no assessment is raised.</p>
<p>&#8220;We hope and expect the Court of Appeal to give this ruse the short shrift it deserves.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Good Law Project initially attempted to take Uber to court to force them to disclose their tax affairs, but attempts for a protective costs ruling failed, making the case unviable financially.</p>
