When working for a food delivery company, you are considered self-employed because you are free to carry out the duties as you please since you are contracted independently, not hired as an employee.

 

You will report your self-employment income on the T2125 – Statement of Business or Professional Activities form. 

Step 1: Create your Personal Profile

First, you will need to enter your personal information to create your Personal Profile, which includes;

• Name
• Birthday
• Marital Status
• Residency
• Contact Information
• Dependants (and their SIN’s, if applicable)
• Language Preference with the CRA

Step 2: Create your Tax Profile
