Built for Canada
Most mileage apps were built for the IRS. You file with the CRA.
US apps count miles, fill out Schedule C and have never heard of CPP. MyGigLedger starts from Canadian rules.
| MyGigLedger | Apps built for the US | |
|---|---|---|
| Distance | Kilometres and a CRA logbook | Miles and the IRS mileage rate |
| Tax form | T2125 line numbers | Schedule C and 1099s |
| Pension | Self-employed CPP and CPP2 | US self-employment tax |
| Sales tax | GST/HST rules for rideshare and delivery | Not covered |
| Paying during the year | CRA instalment dates and thresholds | IRS quarterly estimates |
| Price | Canadian dollars | Usually billed in US dollars |

+ tips
Tax basics
Are tips, quests and referral bonuses taxable for gig drivers?
Yes, all of them. Cash tips, in-app tips, surge bonuses, quests and referral payments are business income. How to track them, including cash.
73¢ ≠ you
Mileage
Can gig drivers just claim the CRA's 73 cents a kilometre?
No. That rate is for employers paying employees. Self-employed drivers claim actual vehicle costs times business use. Here's why, and how the two compare.
Questions
Frequently asked
Is MyGigLedger on iPhone and Android?
The phone apps are in development. You can use the web app today on any phone or computer, and your plan will carry over when the apps launch.
Does MyGigLedger file my taxes?
No. It keeps your records and works out the numbers you'll need: your T2125 totals, CPP and an estimate of what you owe. You or your tax preparer enter them into NETFILE-certified software or a paper return.
Which provinces are supported?
Tax estimates currently cover Ontario, including the Ontario Health Premium. Mileage, expenses and exports work anywhere in Canada. More provinces are on the way.
Can I connect my Uber or DoorDash account?
Not yet. Most drivers add one payout per platform per week from the app's earnings screen, which takes a few seconds. Platform connections are on our roadmap.
Is the tax estimate accurate?
It uses the 2026 federal and Ontario tax brackets, basic personal amounts and CPP limits published by the CRA, and assumes gig work is your only income. It's a planning tool, not tax advice, so check it with a professional before you file.
Where is my data stored?
In the web app preview, everything you enter stays in your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to our servers.
