出租车

GST

大家好，

我是白金会计的Jeff.

我们的部分客户拥有出租车公司或者出租生意。ATO为出租车司机以及他们的GST义务提供了一系列的规定。详情请见此处。https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/In-detail/GST-issues-registers/Taxi-industry---issues-register/?page=4

不论收入水平高低，所有非雇员身份的出租车司机都必须注册GST。这与其它行业所规定的年收入超过$75,000才需注册GST不同。

ATO之所以对出租车行业严加管理是因为出租车是现金业务。ATO对出租车是否属于小型生意的划分标准主要集中在汽油用量，排班，公里数以及一些其它指标上。详情请见此处。https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Small-business-benchmarks/In-detail/Benchmarks-A-Z/R-Z/Taxi-drivers-and-operators/

对于近期出租行业的火热新闻，ATO也已确认如Uber之类的外包制服务会产生应纳税供应，司机必须注册GST。详情请见此处。https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/In-detail/Managing-GST-in-your-business/General-guides/Providing-taxi-travel-services-through-ride-sourcing-and-your-tax-obligations/

ATO之所以如此决定是出于对其他出租车司机的公平对待。也许他们也是为了避免此类后果：

Taxi Driver & GST

Dear Everyone,

The ATO has provided some guidance for taxi drivers and their GST obligations.

Please click here for info.

Any taxi driver who is not an employee must register for GST, no matter what revenue level. This is different from the requirement for all other businesses where they only need to register for GST when they earn $75,000 annually.

The ATO has taken a harder line with taxis because they are a cash business which comes under ATO crackdown once in a while. The ATO has small business benchmarks for taxis that focus on fuel use, shifts and kilometres among other things. You can find these here.

In news surrounding the industry, the ATO has confirmed that ride-sourcing services such as Uber does provide a taxable supply and drivers must register for GST. For further info, please click here.

Part of the ATO’s reasoning is to be more equitable to taxi drivers. Maybe they are looking to avoid this outcome:
