MyGigLedger was started by Jenish Rank in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Before writing any code, he interviewed more than 15 gig drivers about how they track income, kilometres and receipts, and what happens when tax season arrives.
The apps drivers were using had been built for the United States. They counted miles, filled out US tax forms and ignored CPP and GST/HST entirely. Canadian drivers were left with spreadsheets, shoeboxes of faded receipts and a surprise bill every April.
MyGigLedger starts from Canadian rules: the T2125, self-employed CPP, GST/HST for rideshare and delivery, and CRA instalments. Every screen was designed from those conversations, and the product is still being shaped by what drivers tell us.
