Do DoorDash drivers have to register for GST/HST?

It depends on the work you do. Delivery-only work, such as DoorDash or Skip the Dishes, often still uses the $30,000 small-supplier threshold over four calendar quarters (or one quarter). Passenger ride-sharing must register from the first fare, so DoorDash HST is not automatically the same as Uber driver HST.

If you dash and also take UberX trips, the ride-share rule is the one that applies.
