Hi Everyone,
I want to ask you about GST Registration. I sometimes do Uber X and truck driving. I did not know about GST Registration for Ridesharing services. In the last month, I got an Email from the Department for GST registration as they said you are providing the ridesharing services. So register for GST. Do I Register for GST from today or from the Previous Year when I start the uber x??
Backdate the GST registration to the start, it is mandatory for ride sharing as it counts as a taxi service. Then unfortunately you most likely would need to pay GST on your truck driving [if you use the ABN for this]. This most likely also means you would need to amend your income tax return because once you have done the BAS, you have paid GST on your sales to ATO and have been refunded GST on purchases by ATO. When you have paid/claimed GST on your sales/expenses, you would use the GST-exclusive price for your income tax return.
If you're having trouble doing the BAS and income tax return, it might be worthwhile to find a tax agent.
