Rideshare vs food delivery – the GST difference
Rideshare (passengers)
If you carry passengers for a fare, you generally need to be registered for GST from your first ride, no matter how much you earn.
Food & parcel delivery
Delivery-only drivers generally only need GST registration once their turnover reaches the GST threshold.
Doing both? We will set you up the right way.
What we do for drivers
- ABN and GST registration
- Quarterly BAS using your app summaries
- Car expense claims – logbook or cents per km method
- Phone, data, cleaning, tolls and other driving costs
- Your yearly tax return with your rideshare income included
Keep these records
- Weekly or monthly app statements
- Fuel, servicing and car cost receipts
- A 12-week logbook if you use the logbook method
- Phone bill showing work use

Do Uber drivers need to register for GST?
Generally yes. Drivers who carry passengers need to register for GST from the start, regardless of turnover.

Generally only once your turnover reaches the GST threshold, unless you also do rideshare.
Can I claim my car?
You can usually claim the work-related portion of your car expenses using an approved method. A logbook often gives a bigger claim for full-time drivers.
