Summary/Abstract: The use of modern technologies in the service sector has revolutionized traditional business models. Although innovative techniques used by Uber surely determine the progress of the competition and economic development within the market, not adjusting the national regulatory framework to its needs builds up practical difficulties related to a proper legal qualification of the business. The article aims to give a description of current issues of collaborative economy associated with the existing legality gap in the domestic legal order and presents the most crucial postulates of the single market strategy. In addition to characterizing the company and the terms of service delivery, the purpose of the following paper is also to explore Uber’s activity as concerns the existence of an employment relationship and point out the problems with the taxation of digital services.
