Uber logs the fare. OnaVol logs the business.
Uber platform records the kilometres that generate income. It doesn't automatically track every business kilometre you drive, including airport queues, deadhead returns, repositioning between rides, and other work-related travel. OnaVol helps you document those kilometres properly, giving you the records you need to maximize your eligible tax deductions and keep more of what you earn.
Track every kilometre between rides, returns, and airport queues with verifiable logs.
What is your app leaving behind?
Driving as a self-employed uber driver in Canada means you face distinct record-keeping and tax regulations. General accounting apps don't understand your business.
Incomplete Mileage
Uber only records distance while you're carrying a rider. It doesn't count the kilometres spent searching for fares, returning from a remote drop-off, or waiting in a queue.
GST/HST From Day One
Unlike most self-employed Canadians, rideshare drivers must register for GST/HST immediately — there's no $30,000 threshold to wait for. Missing this requirement can mean back taxes later.
Airport Deadhead
Driving back from YYZ, YVR, or YYC after a long-distance drop-off is generally deductible — but Uber's app logs none of that return trip.
Built for How Uber Drivers Actually Work
Onavol tracks your vehicle use from ignition to parked, and turns it into records built around Canadian T4002 logbook guidance — automatically, as you drive.
Tax-Formatted Logbooks
Trip-by-trip records — dates, odometer readings, destinations, business purpose — organized the way tax guidelines expect to see them, ready if you're ever reviewed.
Rideshare-Specific ITCs
Track Input Tax Credits on your fuel, maintenance, and phone bill — money you can claim back against what you owe on your GST/HST return.
Automatic Vehicle Depreciation
CCA Class 10/10.1 depreciation, pro-rated to your actual business use — calculated for you, no formulas required.
Uber Drivers Tax Q&A
Critical answers regarding mileage logging, GST/HST filing, and vehicle deduction safety under CRA rules.
Do tax guidelines accept Uber's annual tax summary as a valid logbook?
No. Canadian tax rules require a trip-by-trip logbook — date, destination, business purpose, and odometer readings. Onavol builds exactly this, automatically, as you log.
Is GST/HST mandatory for Uber drivers, even under $30,000?
Yes. Unlike delivery couriers, Canadian tax rules treat rideshare driving like a taxi service — registration is required from your very first dollar of revenue.
Can I deduct my drive from home to my first pickup?
Yes. If you start your shift with the intent to work — meaning the Uber app is on and searching for rides — the kilometres from home to your first passenger are generally deductible.
