Its all a scam, if you look at livery drivers that now do uber while the car is affiliated with a livery base. Their uber fee is about 35% im guessing that is with sales tax included.
Because on their trip details all you see is
Fare - Uber fee you dont see a sales tax being mentioned anywhere on their trip details.

Meanwhile on ours we see the
Fare - uber fee - sales tax - black car fund

It shows us that we are being charged the sales tax meanwhile it shows them that they arent being charged a sales tax but are paying a higher uber fee.

There isn't sales tax on Livery trips.

I'm pretty sure they also don't pay into BCF.

It should only be 25% commission.
It doesn't show them that they are paying BCF or sales tax but they probably still are through uber fee
They are not paying 25% its a little over 35% if you do the math.
on a minimum fare my estimated payout is $5.58 & it shows the fare minus BCF, Sales Tax & Uber Fee
On the livery guy's estimated payout on a minimum fare is $5.17 it only shows the Fare ($8.00) minus
Uber fee (-$2.83). A New black car driver minimum estimated payout is $5.18.

So moving the conversation on a different route:

Uber allows cars that are affiliated with a 'Livery base' now. I've read that the sales tax and BCF don't apply to Livery cars.

If one affiliates his car with a Livery base will they not have the sales tax+BCF as a deduction taken from fares, therefore only having a 20-25% deduction of fares?

Do Juno/Lyft accept Livery cars?
Uber fee for livery base cars is about 36%
& I only think Uber is accepting livery cars I may be wrong about that.
