“Can I claim GST on car cleaning?”
Yes — if the cleaning is for your Uber/DiDi work.
Cleaning, vacuuming, detailing, and car wash costs used to keep your vehicle presentable for passengers generally include GST you can claim.
Just remember:
Only the business-use portion is claimable, based on your logbook or ride-share usage.
