Dang Viet Dung, general manager of Uber Vietnam, has confirmed that the rumour is completely untrue, adding that all of the company's operations and its application in the Vietnamese market have been going well.
The rumour followed the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Taxation's recent announcement that the Netherlands-based Uber B.V., parent company of Uber Vietnam, has been required to pay a combined 2.92 million USD in tax arrears and fines for dodging taxes.
