As of October 10, 2020, if you're a new driver who transports passengers for remuneration for a transportation system operator under agreement, such as Uber and Eva, you can use our new simplified service to register for the GST/HST and QST. It's fast and easy!
The term “transportation system operator under agreement” refers to:
- a person who oversees registered drivers and vehicles and who has entered into an agreement with us to respect government requirements regarding the GST/HST and QST; and
- suppliers who have entered into an agreement with us and whose services have been retained by such operators.
Note that if you are already registered for the GST/HST and QST for another commercial activity, you do not have to register again.
As a driver for a transportation system operator under agreement, you must:
- be registered for the GST/HST and QST before you make your first trip;
- report the GST/HST and QST that the operator collects for you.
In addition, under their agreements with us, operators must:
- collect the GST/HST and QST on services their drivers provide;
- remit the taxes collected for their drivers at the rates set out in the agreements.
