The city of San Jose is locked in a dispute with California's tax department over about $100 million in sales tax revenue it has received from hometown company eBay Inc. since 2020, a city spokesperson confirmed. The spokesperson said San Jose is appealing a determination from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration that some portion of the revenue it's received through a tax-sharing agreement with the auction and shopping website was improper—an argument similar to an ongoing fight between the tax department and nearby Cupertino over that city's deal with Apple Inc.
