How to do your VAT registration

When you are buying services from abroad (e.g. Uber which is based in the Netherlands) or providing services to companies in other EU countries, such as Uber, you will need a VAT registration for intra-community services. If you’re new to VAT this page walks you through the basics of your registration process.

Consult a tax advisor for more details on criteria and requirements that apply to you.

What your registration entails

VAT collected from providing services

The VAT you collect from selling your services (transportation services sold to Riders) is payable to the Tax Authority when submitting your VAT return.

VAT on business expenses

Besides collecting VAT, VAT can also be charged to you by several parties. For example on business expenses such as fuel and car repairs. When you are VAT registered, you may be able to deduct this from the VAT you collected.

Criteria and Requirements

If you wish to engage in a commercial activity, such as driving with Uber, VAT-registration is mandatory.

If you want to be a Partner Driver under a Fleet Partner in Greece, you do not need to set up a company first, but you could if you wished. This can be done quite easily.

We strongly recommend you speak with a tax professional.

How to do your VIES-registration

When you register before the Tax Authority, you need to fill out the special tax forms M1 and M2.

Please note that, the special tax form M2 will include also a reference regarding the registration of inter-community services for VAT purposes (VIES).

Your Uber Profile

Be sure to provide us with a valid VAT number (by adding it to your Tax Profile / Invoice Settings page) and to update your tax profile in the Uber App.

Every Partner is unique and so are their specific tax circumstances. As such, the information on this page may not cover your tax needs and it should not be relied upon to replace you seeking independent tax advice. Uber can’t provide you with tax advice for your individual situation, and therefore we strongly recommend speaking with a professional tax advisor to get tailored help and advice for your specific circumstances. The information on this page is for French audiences only.
