Uber & GST – What Drivers Need to Know (Australia)

If you drive for Uber, GST rules are different from most businesses.

✅ You must register for GST from your first dollar earned — the $75,000 threshold does not apply to ride-share drivers.

📌 You need to:

Include all Uber fares in your BAS

Pay 10% GST on the full fare (before Uber fees)

Claim GST credits on Uber service fees and eligible car expenses

💡 Uber statements clearly show fares, fees, and GST, which helps with accurate BAS reporting.

Keeping proper records ensures you stay compliant and don’t overpay GST.
