Maximise Your Refund — Tax Return Express for Rideshare & Delivery Drivers
Your annual tax return covers income and eligible deductions. Whether you drive for Uber or DiDi, or earn delivery income, a registered tax agent can help assess vehicle costs, depreciation, phone bills, tolls, cleaning and insurance. Delivery-only drivers generally need GST registration at $75,000 GST turnover; voluntary registration or mixed rideshare work can also create BAS obligations. Passenger ridesourcing requires GST registration regardless of turnover.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay GST as an Uber driver in Australia?
Yes. The ATO requires all rideshare drivers to register for GST from day one, regardless of how much you earn. You collect GST in every fare and report it quarterly through BAS.
How much does it cost to lodge my BAS with ALITAX?
Your first eligible BAS quarter is free. After that, BAS lodgement is $50 per quarter including GST. Existing free-quarter entitlements are preserved. Tax returns are priced separately.
Do I need an ABN to drive for Uber or DiDi?
Yes. Both Uber and DiDi require drivers to have a registered ABN. You also need to register for GST through the ATO.
Can I lodge BAS for both Uber and DiDi in one return?
Yes. Our platform supports combined income from multiple platforms. Upload separate PDFs for Uber and DiDi and the calculator handles both.
What expenses can I claim on my BAS?
If you are GST-registered, you may be able to claim GST credits for creditable business purchases to the extent they relate to your business use. Keep valid tax invoices where required. Not every payment includes 1/11 GST — insurance and registration charges can have different GST treatment.
When is my BAS due?
Quarterly deadlines: Jul–Sep (due 28 Oct), Oct–Dec (due 28 Feb), Jan–Mar (due 28 Apr), Apr–Jun (due 28 Jul). Missing deadlines attracts ATO penalties.
How much does a tax return cost for an Uber or DiDi driver?
Tax returns for rideshare drivers start from $160 + GST. This covers your individual income tax return including all vehicle deductions, depreciation, and rideshare-specific claims.
Can you do my tax return if I drive for Uber Eats, DoorDash or previously Menulog?
Yes. Delivery income still belongs in your annual tax return. Delivery-only work generally follows the ordinary $75,000 GST turnover threshold, unless you register voluntarily; turnover from other taxable businesses also counts. Passenger ridesourcing is different and requires GST registration from the first dollar. We handle Uber Eats, DoorDash and historic Menulog income — just tell us which platforms you drove for.
