GST REGISTRATION

📋 GST Registration Required

If you provide passenger transport services (e.g. Uber, DiDi, Ola), GST registration is mandatory from the date you begin providing those services.

If you only provide food or package delivery services, GST registration is required once your annual turnover exceeds $75,000.

📘 BAS Lodgement Services

A Business Activity Statement (BAS) is lodged with the ATO to report and pay your GST obligations.

If you choose quarterly reporting, you will lodge four times per year (Oct, Jan, Apr, Jul).

Professional BAS lodgement services are available from $149–$299 per quarter.

We manage your first BAS and ensure your business is compliant from day one.

Most new gig workers choose quarterly BAS with ongoing professional support.

Do you need to register for GST?

Yes - I provide passenger transport (GST mandatory)

Yes - I'm doing food/package delivery and want to register for GST voluntarily

No - I'm only doing food delivery and won't earn over $75k

Not sure - please advise me

⚠ Important: If you complete even one passenger transport trip, GST registration is legally required from that date.

GST Registration Date

Same as business start date

Expected annual turnover (gross income before expenses)

Your best estimate of yearly income before any expenses. This is just an estimate - you can update it later.

How often will you lodge BAS?

Quarterly (Recommended for most gig workers – 4 times per year)

Monthly (12 times per year)

Annually (one a year)

We strongly recommend quarterly for most gig workers. Monthly is unnecessary and creates more paperwork.

Do you have any other business income (besides gig work)?

Yes

Please describe your other business activitie
