Gig Tax Guide

Gig Economy Tax Rules — What You Must Know

GST Rules: Ride-Share vs Food Delivery

The GST rules differ depending on what type of gig work you do.

  • Ride-share (Uber, DiDi, Ola): Must register for GST from the first dollar — no $75,000 threshold.
  • Food delivery (DoorDash, Deliveroo, Menulog): Must register only when annual turnover exceeds $75,000.
  • Both ride-share and delivery: The ride-share rule applies — register for GST regardless of delivery income.

Vehicle Deductions — Logbook vs Cents Per Km

Your vehicle is typically your largest deduction as a gig worker. We calculate both methods and apply whichever gives the larger deduction:

  • Cents per km: 88 cents per km in 2024–25, up to 5,000 km, no logbook required.
  • Logbook method: Actual percentage of all vehicle costs based on a 12-week logbook. Best for high-km, high-cost vehicles.

Other Gig Worker Deductions

  • Phone costs — work portion based on usage records
  • Insulated delivery bags, phone mounts, high-vis vests
  • Platform service fees deducted by the app
  • Tolls paid while on a gig job
  • Bicycle costs for cyclist riders (depreciation, maintenance, lock)

Multiple Platform Income — One Return

Many gig workers earn from 2–4 platforms simultaneously. We reconcile every income source, match expenses appropriately, and produce a single accurate return.

Common Questions

BAS Return FAQ

Yes. All ride-share drivers in Australia must register for GST from the first dollar earned. There is no $75,000 threshold for ride-share. This is an ATO requirement regardless of how many hours you drive or how much you earn. We handle your GST registration and lodge quarterly BAS returns.
Food-only delivery workers must register for GST only if their annual turnover from delivery exceeds $75,000. Under this threshold you are not required to register. However, if you also do any ride-share, the ride-share rule applies and you must register regardless.
Gig workers using a car can claim fuel, registration, insurance, depreciation, loan interest, and servicing. The logbook method calculates the percentage of time the car is used for gig work and applies it to actual costs. The cents-per-km method (88c/km, max 5,000 km) requires no logbook. We calculate both and apply whichever is better.
Yes. All gig economy workers operating as independent contractors need an ABN. Most platforms require an ABN before you can work. Without one, payers must withhold 47% of your payments. We assist with ABN registration as part of your gig tax setup.
All platform income is combined on your income tax return as business income. Each platform income is reconciled and GST-inclusive amounts adjusted. Expenses are allocated proportionally. We produce a single accurate return covering all your platform income.
