Rideshare driver

Keep trip and vehicle records; commercial rideshare has GST/HST registration rules even below $30,000.

Reconcile platform gross earnings, tips and fees; separate delivery mileage from personal travel. Delivery alone is not the taxi exception.

Track each project’s invoice and payment, separate subscriptions from capital equipment, and document business use.

Reconcile cash and card sales, supplies and chair/room rental; confirm your working relationship before assuming self-employment.

Keep job costs, subcontractor invoices and tool records separate; longer-lived tools may need capital treatment.

Record lesson income and teaching costs. Some instruction may be GST/HST exempt, so check the exact service before using a taxable-sales total.

Reconcile sales, refunds, platform charges and inventory. A platform payout is not necessarily gross sales or profit.

Keep commission statements, brokerage fees, advertising, trip logs and client-meal details together by transaction.
