I'm still not sure how that's considered a loophole. The people who work for them are in fact small business operators, and it most certainly does simplify the process for them not having to pay for GST.

Is your argument that you wish they had structured it differently so they were forced to pay more taxes? If that was the case then the drivers would be making a less, and the passengers would pay a more to cover the costs of the GST, and I don't see the point in that.

If taxi companies want to level the playing field, why don't structure themselves in more innovative ways like Uber did instead of forcing others to pay more taxes?

The GST is supposed to apply to just about everything equally, with a few exceptions. If you want consumers to pay less GST, vote for a government that will reduce it, as in 2006.

The government is doing exactly the right thing in changing the law so that irrelevant differences in corporate structure don't affect the tax paid.
