Driving for Uber, Ola, or Didi can be a great way to earn income, but the tax and BAS side can quickly become complicated. Many rideshare drivers miss out on thousands of dollars in legitimate deductions or end up stressed when the ATO comes knocking.
At Stellar Accounts, I specialise in providing dedicated rideshare accountant services for drivers across Australia.
Why Rideshare Drivers Need a Specialist Accountant
Rideshare income is treated as business income by the ATO. This means you need proper records, correct GST treatment (if applicable), and smart tax planning. A general accountant often doesn’t understand the unique expenses involved in rideshare work.
Key Services I Offer Rideshare Drivers
- Individual tax returns tailored for rideshare income
- BAS lodgements (quarterly or monthly)
- Bookkeeping and expense tracking
- Maximising legitimate tax deductions
Top Deductions Most Rideshare Drivers Can Claim
- Vehicle Expenses – Fuel, maintenance, repairs, registration, and depreciation
- Kilometre Deduction – Using the ATO cents per kilometre method (simple) or logbook method (often better)
- Phone & Data Plans – Portion used for rideshare apps
- Cleaning & Detailing – Keeping your car clean for passengers
- Home Office – If you complete admin work from home
- Safety Equipment – Dash cams, first aid kits, etc.
- Bank Fees & Merchant Charges – From rideshare platforms
- Superannuation Contributions – Strategic planning to reduce tax
