Summary of Obligations – Mandatory Billing in the Remunerated Passenger Transportation Sector

Below is a summary of the obligations you must meet if you operate a taxi business and the mandatory billing measures in the remunerated passenger transportation sector apply to you.

Before making your first trip

As a taxi business operator, you must follow the steps below before making your first trip.

Registration and opening a file

First, you must complete certain formalities related to the operation of your business. 

  1. Register for the GST/HST and QST, regardless of your annual taxable sales.  
  2. Ask us to open your taxi business operator file. We will then send you an authorization code you can use to configure your sales recording system (SRS) and get a digital certificate. You can make your request using:

Required equipment

Next, make sure you properly equip the vehicle that will be used for your business.

  1. See the list of certified SRSs before acquiring your SRS from a developer.
  2. Get a receipt printer or electronic payment terminal to print compliant bills, unless all trip requests (other than those hailed on the street or ordered by phone) are processed by a technological solution that allows your customers to accept an electronic bill in advance.
  3. Ensure you have a mobile network connection so you can send transactions to the WEB-SRM.
  4. Configure your SRS according to the developer's instructions.
  5. Create user accounts for you and each driver you employ, as applicable. Each of you must log in to your respective account at the start of each shift and log out at the end of each shift. 
Note
