Complete T2125 tax guide for Canadian Uber and Uber Eats drivers!
🚗 What Uber Drivers Can Deduct: ✅ Vehicle expenses — Gas, insurance, maintenance, repairs, licence, lease or interest, and CCA — claimed as actual costs × business-use %, totalled in Chart A and carried to T2125 line 9281 ✅ Phone & data — Business-use portion of your cell plan (line 9220) ✅ Uber's service fee — Report gross fares as income and deduct the commission separately (commonly line 8871) ✅ Supplies — Phone mounts, chargers, dash cams, delivery bags
⚠️ No flat per-kilometre deduction in Canada. Unlike US filers, who can choose the IRS standard mileage rate, a self-employed Canadian claims actual vehicle costs. The CRA per-km rate (73¢ first 5,000 km / 67¢ after in 2026) is the ceiling for a tax-free allowance an employer pays an employee — it is not a deduction method on a T2125. Your logbook proves your business-use percentage.
⚠️ GST/HST — rideshare has no $30,000 threshold. Passenger ride-sharing drivers must register from their first fare, regardless of income. Food-delivery-only drivers do get the $30,000 small supplier threshold. If a driver does both, they must register because of the rideshare work and charge on rideshare fares immediately, while the delivery revenue only becomes taxable once combined sales pass $30,000.
