Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding our appointment scheduling, document requirements, and lodgement process.
Why do rideshare drivers need to lodge quarterly BAS from $0 turnover?
Under Section 144-5 of the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999, taxi and rideshare drivers must be registered for GST and lodge quarterly BAS returns regardless of turnover, starting from their very first passenger fare.
Can I claim GST on car washes, mints, and phone bills?
Yes. The business percentage of vehicle cleaning, passenger refreshments, mobile phone bills, dashboard cameras, and music subscriptions can be claimed as GST input tax credits.
What if I drive for both Uber and DoorDash or Menulog?
Passenger rideshare requires mandatory GST reporting on gross fares, whereas pure food delivery does not require GST registration until total turnover reaches $75,000. We correctly split and account for both income streams.
