Tax Office investigating Foodora before exit over millions in unpaid taxes

An Australian Tax Office investigation into Foodora over millions of dollars in unpaid taxes and superannuation was the cause behind the on-demand food delivery company going into administration this month.

Documents provided to creditors last week reveal that the ATO and Revenue NSW had been auditing Foodora for the past two years over concerns that its riders were employees and not independent contractors and were preparing claims over unpaid superannuation, payroll taxes and Pay As You Go taxes.
