Do Uber drivers pay GST in Australia?

Yes. ALL rideshare drivers must register for GST regardless of income. This is a special ATO rule for taxi/rideshare services. You must lodge quarterly BAS returns.

How much tax do Uber drivers pay?

You pay income tax on your net profit (income minus expenses). Most Uber drivers pay 16-30% depending on total income. GST (10%) is charged on fares and remitted quarterly.

Can I claim my car as a tax deduction?

You can claim the business-use portion of car costs using either the logbook method or the cents-per-km method (85c/km, max 5,000 km for 2025-26).

⚠️ ATO Note: The ATO considers Uber drivers as carrying on a business. You MUST have an ABN and register for GST regardless of income level for rideshare.

Before Uber (Rideshare) pays you: you need an Australian Business Number (ABN). Registration is free at abr.gov.au and takes about 10 minutes — without one, platforms must withhold 47% as “no-ABN withholding.” GST is also mandatory from your first dollar (ATO “taxi service” rule), so you'll lodge quarterly BAS.
