Lyft says San Francisco overcharged it $100M in taxes


Lyft is suing the city of San Francisco, claiming the city unfairly charged the rideshare company over $100 million in taxes.

The lawsuit is just the latest chapter in a yearslong debate over how gig economy apps should classify drivers. Last summer, Lyft, Uber and DoorDash notched a win after the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 22, which allows the companies to classify drivers as independent contractors, meaning the companies do not have to provide drivers with full employee benefits.
