GIG WORK GUIDE

Track what a delivery session really earns

Revenue alone does not tell you whether a session was worthwhile.

Keep a simple session record

Record gross platform income, tips or bonuses, hours online, kilometres driven, fuel and other directly related costs. That gives you a much clearer operating picture than income alone.

Tax records are a separate question

The tax treatment of expenses depends on your circumstances and the type of platform work. Keep supporting records and use current Australian Taxation Office guidance when preparing tax information.

Use the profit calculator

The ShiftMate delivery calculator gives an operating estimate only. It does not calculate taxable income, GST obligations, depreciation or your final tax deduction.
