Remitting and filing your GST/HST with the CRA
As a Hopp driver, you’re responsible for tracking, remitting, and filing your own GST/HST with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This data is available in your Hopp account and can assist you in preparing to submit your returns.
GST/HST can be remitted either quarterly or annually, depending on what works best for your business. To file your return online with the CRA, you’ll need to determine your net tax — the difference between the GST/HST you collected from passengers and the GST/HST you paid on eligible business expenses related to your ridesharing activities. This guide will walk you through how to use your Hopp-provided earnings and tax summaries to support that calculation and complete your filing.
Downloading your monthly summaries
The amount of GST/HST you have collected while using Hopp can be found in your Monthly Summaries.
Important note: These summaries do not replace your tax return and are not official invoices or tax documents. You remain responsible for declaring your income to your local tax authority (or any other jurisdiction where you are subject to tax). For more information about the Canadian reporting rules for digital platform operators, please refer to the CRA's guidance here ↗.
These documents can be found in the Driver Portal. To locate and download these summaries please follow the steps below:
- Open the Hopp Driver app and tap the menu (top left). Select Driver Portal at the bottom of the list below Settings.
- Inside the Driver Portal menu, select Monthly Summaries.
Opening the Driver Portal menu ↗
- Download the reports for your filing period.
If a specific month won’t download, it likely means no trips were completed during that period.
