that raid was by revenu québec, québec's tax collection agency. they collect sales taxes (both federal and provincial) and provincial income taxes in québec only. the canada revenue agency collects provincial/federal income and sales taxes everywhere else (except BC, I think?) so they can be under investigation in québec without necessarily being investigated by the federal agency Cold on a Cob posted:lmao they did try "would have" is "aurait", translates to "allegedly did"

Shifty Pony posted:wait i thought uber drivers were prohibited to taking money outside of the app in theory number one, in practice number two. not adding tax to the fare lets uber undercut its competitors a bit more, and apparently if they got called on it their plan was to say that the fares mostly went to the drivers and therefore it was the drivers' responsibility to charge tax in practice, this is laughable and likely to fall apart in court, since uber is the one actually billing riders, but uber can afford enough lawyers to delay punishment for a couple of years ANAmal.net posted:i thought the canadian irs was already onto their bullshit, wasnt that where the "uber remotely wipes devices with financials on them after they were seized" thing came from? i think before it was just the quebec irs, now they're in danger of getting investigated by the real canadian irs too

uber is attempting to say that because driver partners are independent contractors that they must collect the sales tax and such themselves just like any individual business would. it varies by jurisdiction, but if the drivers are actually independent contractors (they're not) then the tax man should actually be going after all the unlicensed businesses that uber contracts with to provide rides.

Shifty Pony posted:wait i thought uber drivers were prohibited to taking money outside of the app this is a local thing to austin, though other places have similar rules. if you pay through the app you are technically paying uber, not the driver, if you are paying the driver directly in cash, that is an unlicensed taxi and you are violating the local austin taxi statutes. they had code enforcement leaving tips in uber drivers for the first few months they operated here who would leave a buck in the cup holder and if the uber driver didn't give it back to them they'd impound the car and it was hilarious.

I remember when I lived in DC when the cabbies would try and rip everyone off with their weird rear end 'zones' thing and 'my credit card reader is broken, do you have the cash?'. Well, a few years ago they switched to meters, to make the meters fair what they did was take all the reported zoned fares and did some math to figure out how cabbies would be able to make the same with a metered fare. Welp, it turned out that most cab drivers weren't declaring all their fares and pocketing a lot of cash so when they switched to meters they were getting super underpaid. quote:The city's switch to a metered taxi fare system is being promoted as a success by District officials but continues to draw complaints from drivers, who say their income has dropped by at least 30 percent since it took effect a year ago.

wyoak posted:I've never been hosed over by an Uber driver but I suppose that's a small sample size. Taxi drivers do it though, but I think part of it may be that in Denver the average taxi driver is not good at driving and doesn't know the city at all, where most of the UberX drivers have lived here a while and know how to get around - why's the balance of power so much more in Uber's favor than the taxi companies anyway? because uber takes the mcdonalds approach of hiring basically anyone who walks in the door and then firing and replacing them at the first complaint, except with constant gps monitoring, heavy statistical analysis of driver behavior, and crowdsourced driver evaluation, so a driver is fired if they make the slightest misstep. also, real taxi drivers usually have to be registered and licensed and trained in specific ways and get specific kinds of of background check, so you can't just hire and fire willy-nilly, because of the burden associated with making sure new drivers are properly vetted and licensed and trained. uber does token background checks and ignores registration and licensing and training requirements, so workers are basically interchangeable for them - they can fire a hundred drivers tomorrow and have three hundred new drivers on the road to replace them by next week uber drivers still have the same problems, like wanting to avoid inconvenient rides and wanting advantageous pay arrangements, but because the company is so hostile to them and so algorithm-focused, the driver misbehaviors tend to happen behind the scenes. for example, rather than driving off as soon as they see a black customer or hear that the trip destination is a poor area, they try to figure out drivers' race or destination from their name or location and then not take those hails in the first place. rather than refusing to take cards because they want to be paid in cash, uber drivers beg for cash tips (which uber officially prohibits) mcd's employees would probably be less likely to gently caress up your order or spit in your shake if there were camera drones hovering over every employee's shoulder constantly recording and analyzing everything they do and sending it to a giant computer system at corporate hq which automatically fires them if they grab the wrong burger ingredient, take longer than the corporate-mandated burger-making time, or a frown is detected on the customer's face at any time while they are in the restaurant. its employee-hostile as hell, but this incredible abuse of workers improves the customer experience (at the cost of extremely high employee turnover and enormous human misery)
