City Of Lincoln Files Lawsuit Against Sprint PCS

A lawsuit filed by the city of Lincoln against Sprint PCS says Sprint hasn’t paid all the telecommunications occupation taxes the company owes.

The federal lawsuit was filed earlier this month. The lawsuit says an audit of taxes paid by Sprint between 2005 and 2009 shows occupation taxes have not been paid on “certain components of gross receipts.”

The lawsuit says total owed exceeds $100,000 but also that Lincoln can’t figure out exactly what Sprint owes because Sprint hasn’t provided all the applicable information.

Sprint spokesman John Taylor says the city has a much broader interpretation over what Sprint should be collecting the taxes on than does Sprint.
