Uber Technologies Inc. and its subsidiary agreed to pay New Jersey more than $100 million in back taxes after the state said the company improperly classified its drivers as independent contractors.

Uber and subsidiary Raiser LLC paid $79 million in unpaid unemployment taxes and fines, as well as $22 million in interest, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development and state attorney general’s office said Tuesday. The total was revised down from the nearly $650 million the state said Uber owed in 2019.
