Tax commissioner Chris Jordan insists it's "absolutely wrong" for Uber to say the tax office is in cahoots with the traditional taxi industry when it comes to new GST guidance for drivers.
"That is false and entirely misleading ... I am puzzled as to why they would want to publicly portray something that we know from our information is simply incorrect," Mr Jordan told a Senate estimates hearing on Wednesday.
He said the ATO had discussions with Uber six or seven months ago, and after many meetings the taxi-provider declined to co-operate in trying to register drivers in bulk.
