What is Uber’s 6.085% or 6.0864% remittance?
The 6.085% or 6.0864% “return” may look like a government refund. It is actually part of the taxes Uber collected from riders and pays to the driver after remitting the prescribed portion to Revenu Québec.

The short answer
Uber normally collects 5% GST and 9.975% QST on transportation services, for a combined 14.975%. Under the agreement-holder rules, Uber remits part to Revenu Québec on your behalf and pays you the remainder.
The word “return” used in some records can be confusing. Uber pays this money with your earnings; it is not a refund processed by Revenu Québec.
Why do you see 6.085%, 6.0864%, or about 6.09%?
Uber currently publishes a precise additional payment of 6.0864%, based on the rates in its agreement with Revenu Québec. Of the combined 14.975% GST and QST, Uber states that it remits 8.8886% to Revenu Québec and pays 6.0864% to the driver.
Some records or labels may show 6.085%, while rounded tables show about 6.09%. The small difference reflects precision and rounding; always compare the actual amount on your statement.
Why Uber pays the difference
The difference results from the quick method and the special rates for agreement holders. These rates account in part for the 1% credit within the prescribed annual limits.
Under the quick method, you generally do not separately claim GST and QST credits on most current expenses. Certain capital assets may follow different rules.
How to recognize it
The amount may appear on an Uber statement under a quick-method label, 6.085%, 6.0864%, or a nearby rate. It may be included in the total paid to your bank account or Uber Pro Card.
ChauffeurClair shows it under Deposits as an approximately 6.09% amount remitted by Uber, separate from amounts Uber says it remitted directly to Revenu Québec.
Is the 6.085% amount income?
Generally, yes. Revenu Québec states that the part of taxes not remitted because of the quick method must be included in income for income-tax purposes.
Do not add it twice. If it is already included in other income or in the calculation from your Uber report, do not create a second manual entry.
What this payment does not change
Receiving it does not mean your return has been filed or that your balance is necessarily zero. You must still report sales and taxes for the period and account for amounts already remitted on your behalf.
If sales exceed the limits for the 1% credit, additional amounts may be payable.
When to seek a review
Treatment may differ if you did not choose the quick method, operate other commercial activities, work with multiple platforms, or exceed applicable limits.
Compare the amounts with the Uber statement and have your situation reviewed by Revenu Québec or a qualified professional.
