Urssaf Demands €1.7 Billion From Uber Over Alleged Unpaid Social Contributions

The claim rests on a 142-page analysis of 71,000 drivers active from 2019 to 2022.

L’Urssaf a réclamé, lundi 2 février 2026, 1,7 milliard d’euros à Uber pour avoir maquillé la relation d’employeur à salariés.

«Sous l’apparence d’une simple centrale de réservation, Uber BV (la filiale néerlandaise d’Uber, NDLR) est en réalité liée aux chauffeurs par un lien de subordination juridique», peut-on lire dans ce document selon la Revue21.

Overview

  • The Urssaf Île-de-France document, revealed by Revue21, asserts Uber misclassified drivers and describes a legal subordination through powers of management, control, and sanction.
  • The total sought combines an estimated €1.2 billion shortfall in employer social contributions with €512 million in recovery surcharges.
  • Uber says the claim lacks legal basis, points to July 2025 Court of Cassation rulings that upheld independent status in some cases, and describes ongoing discussions with Urssaf.
  • Uber’s 2024 financial statements reported no provision for the dispute, citing preliminary talks and the inability to reliably estimate any potential liability.
  • The confrontation remains at an administrative stage, with outcomes that could shape platform-worker rules and enforcement for gig-economy firms in France.
