Uber's drivers pay tax on the fuel they use and there's sales tax on the transaction itself. They are, in fact paying for the use of the roads. Why should there be a special additional tax on that particular type of business?
- glomph 14y agoBecause everyone else in the business is still paying a special additional tax? If you disagree with that, you have to fight to change it for everyone. You don't just start competing without paying the same taxes as everyone else.
- Zak 14y agoAt first, that sounds more fair, but in practice it means a lot fewer people would start doing useful things.
- danielweber 14y agoEarnest question: have any of Lyft et al tried to just say "okay, we'll pay the tax, give us the form to fill out"?
