So I think you might be right in the sense that Uber doesn't collect any GST, points the fingers at the drivers to do so, and the drivers go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
This is essentially it. And another pretty scummy move by Uber.
Uber handles the end user transaction, yet doesn't collect GST, nor give the driver's any opportunity to do so.
The driver is then stuck in a position where they are either trying to collect GST from Uber (see above) or hit up the customers whom have already paid with their credit card direct to Uber?
I actually went back and checked my Uber receipt from the one ride I took in Calgary while they were here, and I can confirm, no GST charged on the ride.
