Ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft could be on the hook for tens of millions of dollars as a tax dispute with the state heads to court.
The Georgia Department of Revenue has billed Uber $22.1 million for sales taxes and other charges it says the company owes. Though ride-hailing services do not pay sales taxes in Georgia, the department says they should under state law, just like their competitors in the taxi and limousine industries.
