Owner - Declaring my income

When you rent out your vehicle on Getaround, the income generated may be subject to tax and/or social security contributions, depending on your country of vehicle registration and your personal or business status.

This information is provided for guidance only. For individual advice, please contact a qualified tax adviser or your local tax authority.

Is my rental income taxable?

Yes. In all countries where Getaround operates (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Norway, Spain), income generated from renting out your vehicle is taxable.

To view your annual gross income: Payments → Gross income to declare.

Why does the declared gross income differ from my actual earnings?

The gross income corresponds to the amounts Getaround is legally required to report to the tax authorities.

It differs from the amounts shown in your Performance or Payments pages because:

• Getaround service fees are included.
• Some refunds are excluded, such as fuel, toll and damage compensation.

How does Getaround report my income under DAC7?

In accordance with the European DAC7 regulation, Getaround must report certain tax-related information each year to the national tax authorities for users who earn income through the platform.

This report does not replace your personal tax return. You must still declare your income to your local tax authority according to your national rules.

Learn more in our DAC7 article.
