At the end of the day, none of us want to pay more tax than we’re legally obligated to.

The simplest way to start doing this is making sure you’re keeping track of all your expenses relating to your ride sharing business.
​

In short, any cost that relates to running your ride-sharing business (with a few exceptions).The greatest deduction you’ll get is the cost of running your motor vehicle.

Keep a record of all your receipts for every car expense you have.  
You need the receipts to prove to the tax office that you actually paid for what you’re claiming. Seems tedious, but believe me, it will be worth it!
