I am having difficulty with calculating the HST on my uber income.
I printed my Uber Tax Summary and it shows the following: Gross uber rides far $420.54 Tolls $5.71 Booking fee $57.50 Total income of $483.75 Referral/Incentives $355.65
HST on Uber rides $19.46 - Is this my HST collected?
Or do I add the total income of $483.75 + $355.65 (referral income) = $839.40 x 13% for HST collected of $109.12.
Thanks in advance for help.
Hi Uberhep1
Yes, you go it! That is indeed your HST on your Uber rides ($19.46 ).
For any other Uber related questions, visit turbotax.ca/uber
Can I ask how you managed to get to $19.46 owing in HST? I can't figure it out.
Please explain how you arrived at the HST of $19.46
Yes, your output HST is the amount Uber reports as HST on Uber rides; $19.46. HST is not collected on Incentives or Tips.
Your Uber Tax summary should have a list of the type of income you have received and the HST for the year.
Keep in mind that the HST is calculated on some of the income but not all. For example, no HST paid on incentives, tips, or meal rides.
I hope this was helpful
HST on the uber tax summary includes HST for the Uber rides service fees. What income do we report? Do we subtract the HST from the income or does the income not include the HST. Can we use a portion of uber rides service fees as HST deducation?
I am not sure what method of reporting you are using: simplified, regular, or quick method.
The list of income on the Uber sheet is before HST. When you report Gross income including GST: it should be the income on that list + HST (bottom of the list)+ the referrals (no HST) from the top right of the sheet.
keep in mind that this HST was not calculated on the Tips that are included on the top list not it should be.
Part of your expenses is the booking fees and the airport fees without the HST and other fees on the right side of the Uber sheet (service fees + eats fees). The fees on the right side are not subject to HST.
I hope this is helpful.
Hello, I checked most of the answers, but non of them solve our problem. Let me give you a real example:
I have
Gross Uber rides fare 72554.78
Split fare 41.40
Tolls 150.43
miscellaneous 100
Airport fee 1114.66
Booking fee 15702.59
Tips 1875.36
Total: 91539.22
Sales tax breakdown
HST on Uber rides 11636.40
Uber rdies service fee 18118.73
Incentive 18118.73
Now out of these total information, I want to know 1- that my HST which 11636.40 is included in the Gross uber rides or not . 2- How they come to 11636.40. Because based on my calculation I have to have 101147.2 income in order to come to 11636.40 HST . Please kindly explain. If I choose Quick method which figures I have to add , because If you add ( 72554.58 + 11636.40 ) it doe sent make sense, because HST amount is not 13% of 72554.58. I am confused.

Hi there,
1) Yes HST is included in gross fare
2) Honestly, it is really hard to reverse calculate HST, that uber reports. In most instances you will end up with small differences. Those differences could be attributed to some amounts that might not get reported explicitly on the summary. In this case, I calculated it to (11,412.51). I agree with you on this amount 101147.2. Why not take this as gross revenue and deduct HST?
One way to understand this better is to understand how Uber calculates trip earnings. Its explained well in this video https://youtu.be/pcJygfX485Y
3) I dont recommend using quick method.
I hope my answer helps.
This issue has also troubled me. I work in the film business full time. HST is simple regarding collecting and remitting in that business. Productions include HST income for my services. So, they pay me HST. I remit that amount to CRA, quarterly. However, for Uber (driver) not Eats. There are no HST income for Eats. For instance, I had a fare on Friday for $7.80. My earnings was $5.85. HST was $1.39. HST is calculated on the fare plus Booking Fee, $2.75, plus third party fees, $0.11. Adding these 3 figures x $0.13 comes to $1.385. But, guess what?! You must remit this amount to CRA. So, your actual earnings is $5.85-$1.39 or $4.46. Please tell me I’m wrong! Why isn’t the total earnings plus the HST or $7.24? Unless, the final Trip Balance is our income and then Uber withholds our HST? Seems very confusing. Why can’t Uber make it simple?

It is not the issue of simplified method or detailed. What I trying to udnrestand that , the HST is written bellow the breakdown is included in the Gross income above. While I record the gross income without HST shoud I deduct the HST written bellow form the Gross income . Any one knows about this , thier feedback is much appreciated. CRA should prepare a slip for them to remove this confusion.
