- gamblor956 4mo agoWaymos, Uber/Lyft, and taxis don't qualify for commuter benefits in California.
- Schiendelman 4mo agoYou mean they don't qualify for the tax exemption. They are often still offered as benefits to the employee.
- gamblor956 4mo agoThey are often still offered as benefits to the employee. Offering Waymo and taxis as "commuter" benefits (meaning, to/from the employee's home) to the employee is considered taxable income to the employee unless it's used so rarely that it is considered a nontaxable fringe benefit. As this creates payroll headaches, most companies outside of perhaps a few in the Bay Area do not offer Waymo or taxis or black car services or Uber/Lyft as "benefits" to the employee. This is different from the kind of travel costs that can be expensed by employees (i.e., for business trips, client meetings, etc.).
