“Remunerated passenger transportation” means a service provided by a business carried on in Québec that consists of transporting passengers:

• by taxi or any other similar vehicle, at rates set by the Act respecting remunerated passenger transportation by automobile;
• by motor vehicle, for an agreed price, within and in the vicinity of the territory of a municipality if the transportation is organized or coordinated through a digital platform or an electronic system.

To ensure healthy competition and foster tax fairness in the remunerated passenger transportation sector, we implemented measures making it mandatory to produce a receipt using a technological solution.

Technological solution

This solution features: 

• a certified sales recording system (SRS) (or a subsequent version of a certified SRS whose use we have authorized) that collects transaction data and securely sends it to a cloud environment; 
• a cloud environment (WEB-SRM) that stores, validates and sends us SRS data securely; 
• a computer system that integrates WEB-SRM data into our informational environment.

Now that the solution has been implemented, all operators of remunerated passenger transportation businesses must give their customers a paper or electronic receipt for each trip made. The receipt must be produced using a certified SRS or a subsequent version of a certified SRS whose use we have authorized.

Server administrator

If you administer a remote server (i.e. a centralized computer system) that communicates directly with the WEB-SRM under the mandatory billing measures in the remunerated passenger transportation sector, see Server Administrator under Businesses.
