> Uber and subsidiary Rasier LLC were assessed $523 million in past-due taxes over the last four years, the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development said in a pair of letters to the companies. The rideshare businesses also are on the hook for as much as $119 million in interest and penalties on the unpaid amounts, according to other internal department documents.

Also it's unemployment + disability insurance they're being charged for.



“At the end of each calendar year, any tax, penalties, and interest remaining due (unpaid) will become part of the balance on which interest is charged.” https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/njit19.shtml”

So, that 119m should be this years penalties. If this thing is growing at over 22% per year and 4 years ago the already had a 54m unpaid tax bill, then I can see this snowballing fast.
