I have question about the GST registration that Uber asks us to do. I'm new to the country and I'm starting to drive for uber. I know that we need to register for GST but they won't let me do it online. I called CRA and they said I needed to register by mail as a non-resident. Has anyone...

Greetings guys, I am a new Uber driver. I have a couple questions: 1. a previous employment required me to register as a sole proprietor about 6-7 years ago under my name. I haven't renewed it. So am I right to assume it is no longer valid and I have to register again? 2. I also want to open...

Forgive me, I know similar topics were discussed before but no clear answer for this case. I read that you might be eligible to write off meals if you travel to a “far away” city. So: 1. How much in kms is far away according to HST and income tax laws? 2. You have to eat at least once in 12...

Hello everyone! I am driving for Lyft and Uber. Today I just made my HST number by calling the CRA. Reaching them was long and painful, but after about 30 minutes of calling, I finally got there. I told the woman that I am driving for Uber and she was happy to make me my HST number in few...

Hi all, So I filed my taxes and my total GST/HST I collected for 2017 is $1700. I had collected approx $2700 in gas receipts over the year. After all is said and done, I have to pay $1100ish to the CRA. Does this sound right? I'm not sure if my accountant made a mistake. Don't I get to put...

This may be a stupid question, but any help is appreciated. On our Annual Tax Summary, we have HST collected. I called the CRA asked about the HST, was told that collected is what you put minus the expenses incurred. Makes sense thus far, my confusion lies herein: Line 101 is defined by the CRA...

First of all, I would like to say I am happy to have found this forum. Lots of help thus far I have found navigating here. But, I have an issue/problem (call it what you like) that has confused me since I am new to this world (about a year now) and I don't want to make any mistakes. Excusing my...

Hi please retweet this or like it to get ubers attention on this issue. Canadian drivers are shown a dollar amount that includes the HST collected that day on their daily earnings. This is giving misleading information for drivers who think they earned more than they really did. I come home each...

As the title says, I haven’t driven Uber for about 4 months. I’m now looking to drive again to meet unexpected expenses but it seems there’s some new HST and business account additions I’m unaware of. Can someone who is well-informed please answer the following questions: 1. Do I need a...

Hey folks, i'm new here and just had a couple of questions about HST and insurace. I've been thinking about doing uber for a little bit now and have looking into everything about it, for me the reason I want to do it is simply that I love driving, I've heard all the bad stories about the actual...
