How to Get a GST Invoice from Uber
Uber emails a tax invoice PDF to your registered email address right after every trip. If you need to re-download it, open the Uber app, tap Activity, select the ride, and tap "Get Tax Invoice". The PDF shows a 5% GST line — that is the exact number your expense sheet wants in the tax column, with the base fare above it.

Where to Find the GSTIN on Uber's Invoice
Finance and HR teams check for the vendor's registered 15-character GSTIN before approving reimbursement claims:
Finance teams often reject a receipt that does not show the vendor's GSTIN. On Uber's PDF, it sits in the Tax Summary block at the bottom — make sure that part is not cropped out of your screenshot.
Which number goes where on your expense sheet
Most company expense templates ask for the base amount and the GST in separate columns. The total is the exact amount you get reimbursed:
A ₹420 Uber ride within your city carries 5% GST. On a ₹400.00 base fare, the 5% GST is ₹20.00, shown on your bill as ₹10.00 CGST and ₹10.00 SGST.
| Expense Sheet Column | Tax Rate | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Base Fare / Price (Pre-Tax) | - | ₹400.00 |
| CGST (Central Tax) | 2.5% | ₹10.00 |
| SGST (State Tax) | 2.5% | ₹10.00 |
| Total Amount Claimed | 5% Total | ₹420.00 |
How the tax appears on the receipt — intra-state orders split it in two (CGST + SGST), while inter-state orders show one single line (IGST). You can calculate any custom amount with our free GST Calculator.
