Tax Filing for Uber, DoorDash & Gig Workers

Gig workers are self-employed in the eyes of the CRA. We help you report income correctly, claim every eligible deduction, and stay on top of GST/HST obligations.

Last updated: March 2026

Gig Workers Are Self-Employed

If you drive for Uber, deliver for DoorDash or Skip the Dishes, or earn income through any digital platform, the CRA classifies you as self-employed. That means you are responsible for tracking your income, claiming deductions, and — in most cases — registering for GST/HST.

We specialize in gig worker tax returns. We help you report your platform income correctly, find every eligible deduction, and minimize your tax bill — whether this is your only income or a side gig alongside a T4 job.
