Drive for Lyft, Save on Taxes. Keep Your Rideshare Revenue High.
Lyft's driver dashboard only logs passenger-in-seat kilometers. You're losing massive write-offs on airport queues, passenger pickups, and deadhead driving. OnaVol helps Lyft drivers record every single kilometer for maximum tax savings.
Document real vehicle business use and maximize your tax deductions.
What is your app leaving behind?
Driving as a self-employed lyft driver in Canada means you face distinct record-keeping and tax regulations. General accounting apps don't understand your business.
Lyft Mileage Shortfalls
Lyft's summaries exclude miles driven waiting in airport queues or heading back to high-demand downtown cores.
Mandatory Rideshare GST/HST
As a rideshare driver, you are legally required to register and remit GST/HST. Tracking ITCs on your gas and repairs is vital to lower this bill.
Passenger Cleaning & Detailing
Keeping your car pristine for Lyft ratings is expensive. Detailing, car washes, and seat protectors are fully deductible but often forgotten.

Lyft Drivers Tax Q&A
Critical answers regarding mileage logging, GST/HST filing, and vehicle deduction safety under CRA rules.
Does Lyft track my driving kilometers when I am waiting for a request?
No. Lyft only logs distances from ride acceptance to passenger drop-off. The kilometers you spend driving to busy areas, waiting in airport holding lots, or returning home are ignored by Lyft but are 100% tax-deductible with OnaVol.
What commercial rideshare expenses can I write off?
You can pro-rate vehicle expenses like fuel, maintenance, washes, passenger amenities (mints, water), rideshare insurance premiums, phone mount hardware, and winter tires based on your business-use mileage.
