Bookkeeping for Uber & Taxi Drivers
Keep your records organised, your BAS on time, and your tax-deductible expenses tracked, without the stress. Whether you're driving full-time or part-time, we’ll help you stay compliant, save time, and feel confident about your numbers.
Struggling to Keep Up With the Paperwork?
Driving full-time or part-time leaves little time for admin. Between passengers, fuel stops, app notifications and traffic, bookkeeping often gets left behind.
Here are a few signs it might be time to get support:
Hard to track trips and income?
App statements, fuel receipts and daily earnings add up quickly. If you’re not keeping tabs weekly, it’s easy to lose sight of what you’re actually earning.
Missed BAS or ATO deadlines?
Without proper record-keeping, lodgement deadlines creep up. Missing key dates can lead to fines, stress and rushed paperwork.
Unsure what you can claim?
From car maintenance to tolls and mobile data, knowing what counts as a deductible expense can be confusing if you’re not across the ATO rules.

What Drivers Need to Know About GST and Record Keeping
Rideshare and taxi work sits under a rule that surprises almost every new driver. Most small businesses only need to register for GST once their turnover passes the registration threshold. Drivers providing taxi travel, which includes rideshare, are generally required to be registered for GST from the moment they start, regardless of how little they earn. Someone driving two evenings a week as a side income has the same registration and lodgement obligation as a full time operator. Drivers who discover this a year in are usually facing backdated obligations on income they have already spent.
Once registered, the reporting has to reflect how the platform actually pays you. The amount that lands in your bank account is not your income. It is your income after the platform has taken its service fee, and often after other adjustments as well. Reporting the bank deposit rather than the gross fare understates both your income and the GST credits you are entitled to claim on the platform fee. Your platform tax summary is the document that reconciles the two, and it needs to be matched against your bank rather than filed away.
Deductions are the other area where drivers lose money quietly. A logbook maintained for a representative period supports apportionment of vehicle costs far more strongly than a percentage picked from memory, and it remains valid for several years provided your pattern of use does not materially change. Beyond fuel and servicing there are costs that are frequently missed entirely, including tolls, vehicle cleaning, the business proportion of your mobile data, parking while waiting, and platform related fees and commissions. Where a car is used privately as well as for driving, the apportionment needs to be defensible rather than convenient.
PAYG instalments are the third thing that catches drivers out. Once a pattern of business income is established, the ATO may require instalments through the year rather than a single amount at the end of it. Drivers who have not planned for this find the first notice arriving at a difficult moment.
We work with your platform statements, your bank records and your expense receipts to keep all of this accurate quarter by quarter. As registered BAS agents we prepare and lodge your BAS, and we prepare organised records for your accountant to complete your income tax return.
