Uber Challenges $8.92 Million Tax Obligation Post-Wayfair in Georgia; Faces Supreme Court Case in Nevada Amid Las Vegas Sun Antitrust Battle

Uber is currently involved in legal disputes in Georgia and Nevada regarding its tax obligations and business practices. In Georgia, two judges from the Court of Appeals examined Uber's contention that it should not have been required to collect $8.92 million in sales tax from drivers before the Wayfair decision, which changed the landscape for online sales tax collection. An attorney representing Uber argued that the company was not obligated to collect and remit sales taxes on behalf of its drivers and customers prior to this ruling. Meanwhile, in Nevada, Uber faces a case in the state Supreme Court, adding to the scrutiny of its operations in the region. In a separate legal matter, the Las Vegas Sun is engaged in an antitrust battle with the Las Vegas Review-Journal over a joint operating agreement, which the Sun claims is being undermined by the Review-Journal's actions to declare the agreement illegal, potentially threatening its business viability. This case has reached the Ninth Circuit, highlighting ongoing tensions in the Las Vegas media landscape.
