Lyft Sues San Francisco Over $100 Million Tax Bill, Says Payments To Drivers By Passengers Misclassified
The dispute highlights ongoing challenges within the gig economy, as companies like Lyft and Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) filed a lawsuit against San Francisco, accusing the city of overcharging the ride-hailing services company by $100 million in taxes from 2019 to 2023.
Lyft Inc. (納斯達克:LYFT) 對舊金山提起訴訟，指控該市在2019年至2023年間向這家打車服務公司徵收了10000萬美元的稅款。
Lyft argues that the city has misclassified the payments made by passengers to drivers as company revenue, which is not how Lyft operates, reported Bloomberg on Tuesday.
Lyft認爲，該市將乘客支付給司機的款項錯誤地分類爲公司的營業收入，而這並不是Lyft的運作方式，《彭博社》週二報道。
According to the company, Lyft generates revenue through fees paid by the drivers, not passenger payments, aligning with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's treatment of driver compensation.
根據該公司的說法，Lyft通過司機支付的費用來產生營業收入，而不是乘客支付的款項，這與美國證券交易委員會對司機報酬的處理一致。
The dispute highlights ongoing challenges within the gig economy, as companies like Lyft and Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:UBER) face scrutiny over their contractor models. Lyft seeks refunds, including penalties and interest, for the overcharged taxes.
