ATO data-matching: ride sourcing data for 200,000 individuals

The Commissioner has gazetted the Notice of a ride sourcing data-matching program.
It will enable the ATO to acquire ride sourcing data to identify individuals that may be engaged in providing ride sourcing services during the 2022-23 financial year. The data items include:

• identification details (driver identifier; ABN, driver name; birth date; mobile phone number; email address; address) and
• transaction details (bank account details, aggregated payment details, gross fares, net amount paid to driver, and all other income to which GST may or may not apply to) of all payments received in the relevant period.

The ATO estimates that records relating to approximately 200,000 individuals will be obtained.
