Uber and Ride Share Tax

Australian rideshare tax requirements

As a driver-partner, you independently provide transportation services. You are not an employee of Uber and will be responsible for reporting and paying any applicable tax or GST earned from your trips with Uber to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Uber does not withhold or file any tax on your behalf. It is a requirement that you are GST-registered to partner with Uber. Please see here for ATO tax guidance regarding ridesharing. Uber does not withhold or file any tax on your behalf.

We expect all of our driver-partners to meet their own tax obligations like everyone else. This would include declaring your earnings from providing services as a driver-partner. You may also be able to claim your Uber related expenses (as tax deductions) through your tax return.

Tax can be tricky! We want to help you understand and meet your tax obligations, but it’s important to note that Uber is unable to provide tax advice. To answer your questions, you can read the information below provided by Uber Pro partners, reach out to Rider Accountants & Advisors, or you can contact the ATO directly.
