❓ “Do I need to include Uber, DiDi, or ride-share income in my BAS?”

🟢 Yes — absolutely, 100% of the time.

If you drive for Uber, DiDi, Ola, Shebah, or any ride-share platform, you must register for GST from your very first dollar.

There is no $75,000 GST threshold for ride-share drivers.

What does this mean for your BAS?

All fares must be reported

GST must be charged on every trip

GST credits can be claimed on business expenses (fuel, servicing, phone, etc.)

Ride-share income is always BAS-reportable — every trip, every quarter.
