“Can I claim GST on fuel and car expenses?”

🟢 Yes — but only for the business-use portion.

You can claim GST on fuel, servicing, tyres, cleaning, insurance, phone bills, and other driving-related costs as long as they relate to your ride-share work.

A logbook or business-use percentage helps you calculate how much GST you’re allowed to claim.
