Uber Technologies Inc. is being examined by U.S. tax authorities and said that its potential tax charges in a number of key markets could change.

The recently-listed ride-hailing company said in its S-1 disclosure in April, and repeated in its 10-Q Bloomberg Terminalfiling Tuesday, that the IRS is examining the tax years for 2013 and 2014. Uber also added that it is under examination by other state and foreign tax authorities, and that its tax benefits are to be cut due to the company’s "transfer pricing positions."
