Questions

What GST applies to a car hired with a driver?

Renting a cab with a driver is commonly taxed at 5% without input tax credit for the operator; an operator that takes credit charges a higher rate. Check the current notification for the option you have chosen.

What GST applies to a self-drive car?

Self-drive rental is renting of goods without an operator, taxed at the same rate as the car itself. Under the rates in force from 22 September 2025, that is 18% for small cars and 40% for larger cars and SUVs.

Is the security deposit taxable?

A refundable deposit is not part of the rental value while it is held. If you keep part of it for damage, fuel or late return, that amount becomes a charge and goes on the bill with GST.

What does a monthly corporate rental need?

A contract that fixes the km and hours per month, the extra rates and who pays for fuel. Bill against the contract number and attach the duty slips signed by the user for each day.
