Uber Diver Need Taxi Licence in Australia’s Queensland by January

Ride-booking operators and drivers, such as those from Uber Technologies Inc., will need licenses to offer their services in the Australian state of Queensland under new regulations announced Sunday in Brisbane.

The eligibility tests for drivers and booking entities will be the same for all those offering personalized transport, Mark Bailey, Queensland’s minister for main roads, road safety and ports, said in a statement.

Applications opened Sunday and ride-hailing drivers must have a license by Jan. 15, while anyone who arranges bookings for such a service must have a permit by Dec. 1.

“This allows us to ensure all parties are fit and proper to provide services that are of the high standard that Queenslanders expect when using a taxi or ride-booking service,”

Mark Bailey

Queensland will also require booked-hire vehicles to display signs that clearly identify which entity it is operating under and that are clearly visible from at least 20 meters (66 feet) away. A new class of compulsory third-party insurance for booked hire and limousines will apply, according to the statement.

THE ATO’s REQUIREMENTS:

The ATO Announced On The 20th Of May 2015 That Uber Drivers Must Register For GST. They’ve Determined That Under GST Law, Uber, And By Extension All Rideshare Services, Meet The Definition Of A Taxi Service.
The ATO state that “the word taxi takes on its broad ordinary meaning of a car made available for public hire that is used to transport passengers for fares.”
This is true, but it’s irrelevant, because they’re not the One supplying the service to riders. The transaction is directly between you and your rider. This means you, an Australian driver, are the supplier so GST is applicable.
ATO Deputy Commissioner James O’Halloran has said “If those providing ridesharing have not obtained an ABN and not registered for GST, then we will undertake compliance activities that means reviews and audits and assessments may be raised.”
The penalty for failure to register for GST is currently $3,400. The penalty for failure to lodge a BAS begins at $170 per BAS if lodged within 28 days, and can stretch up to $850 per BAS after 113 days.

Hope this guide will help you a lot in driving with uber.
