Canada to Start Tracking Gig Workers’ Income Under New Tax Rules

Canada will require digital platforms like Uber and DoorDash to disclose their workers’ earnings to tax authorities from 2024, marking a significant change for millions of gig workers under new federal legislation.

The amendment to the Income Tax Act, Bill C-47, sets a January 31 deadline for platforms to report to the Canada Revenue Agency. The requirement applies to workers earning above $2,800 annually who complete more than 30 platform activities.

“It does not change how you should look at your taxes, because the rules for taxpayers did not change,” H&R Block tax expert Yannick Lemay told The Toronto Star. “But it changes how CRA might reconcile your income to find out if you have, indeed, declared all your income.”

Platforms must provide workers with copies of their CRA filings, though disclosure formats may differ between companies. The legislation affects a growing gig workforce, with Statistics Canada reporting more than 800,000 people rely on such work as their primary income.

A survey by H&R Block found that among nine million Canadians in the gig economy, 43% said they would consider risking not declaring all income to reduce their tax burden. Both Uber and DoorDash confirmed they will comply with the new requirements, while Lyft and Skip the Dishes did not respond to requests for comment.
