Obligations of transportation system operators under agreement

Under the agreements with us, transportation system operators (such as Uber) must collect the GST and QST on services you provide through their platform and remit the taxes on your behalf at the rates established in the agreements.

In addition, so that you can file your GST and QST return, the operator must provide you with the following information for each reporting period:

• the total amounts collected, including taxes, for the services you provided using their platform;
• the GST and QST amounts the operator collected on your behalf;
• the GST and QST amounts to be reported, calculated using the Quick Method of Accounting;
• the total amounts the operator remitted to us on your behalf at the rates established in the agreement;
• the total amounts the operator remitted to you.
