Gig Drivers — Don’t Leave Money on the Table!
If you drive for Uber, DoorDash, SkipTheDishes (or other delivery and rideshare apps), you’re self-employed for tax purposes. That means you can deduct business expenses from your income — but only if you’ve kept the receipts and records to support them.
The Canada Revenue Agency lets you claim things like:
✅Fuel, oil, maintenance and repairs on your vehicle
✅Insurance, licence and registration fees
✅Parking and tolls tied to work
✅Leasing costs or interest on a vehicle loan
✅Phone and data used for driving apps
✅Delivery gear like bags and mounts
✅Other business costs that help you earn income
Keep a mileage log and all receipts so you can complete your T2125 form and maximize deductions. Getting organized now means you’ll pay less tax later.
