Frequently asked questions

Does my Uber Eats profile need to be created with my own Business ID?

Yes. Your Uber Eats driver profile must be created under your own Business ID (Y-tunnus). This ensures that payments, reporting, bookkeeping and taxes are handled correctly.

What makes a document photo acceptable?

Uber may reject photos that don't meet its requirements. Make sure that: - the photo is clear - all text is legible - all four corners of the document are visible - the photo isn't cropped too tightly

Can I use another company's delivery bag?

Yes. You can use a bag from another company, such as a Wolt bag, as long as the bag photo meets Uber's requirements.

The app says onboarding is delayed in my city. What does that mean?

This is normal: onboarding can take longer than usual in your city. Still, upload all the requested documents and complete your application. Uber will notify you separately — usually by email or in the app — once your account is activated and you can start driving.

Who receives the Uber Eats payments?

Uber Eats pays directly into your own bank account, not through us.

How does the bookkeeping work?

Once you start delivering, send us your monthly Uber reports through the app's support request section. Based on these, we'll handle your bookkeeping and taxes.

Guides

Creating and sending invoices

A draft invoice for adding expenses incurred from your partner's gigs first appears in your profile with an amount of 0.00 €. Once we receive the billing data from the client, we automatically combine the fee details with the draft invoice information. An invoice with the total amount will then be created in your profile, and you can track its status through the app. This means you don't need to create or send invoices for these assignments yourself. How do I create an invoice for another assignment? If you also do other assignments for which you create your own invoices, you can easily create invoices directly in the Invoices section of the app. You can find more detailed instructions for creating other invoices here.

How do I add expenses as a light entrepreneur

Truster creates invoices on your behalf based on information received from the client, so you don't need to create or send an invoice yourself. Your task is simply to add your own travel expenses and reimbursements to the ready-made draft invoice in your profile during the work period, if you want them to be tax-free when your fee is paid. By adding travel expenses to the draft invoice, you make sure you receive the tax-free reimbursements you're entitled to right away when your fee is paid, meaning more money in your pocket! Expenses that have been accounted for in the fee payment do not need to be reported separately to the Tax Administration. Please note that fuel, charging, or material costs cannot be added to the invoice as tax-deductible expenses as a light entrepreneur. These can instead be added to your own personal tax return as income-related expenses. The video covers the following topics: • 1:45 Adding mileage allowances • 3:19 Adding per diems • 5:42 Adding expense reimbursements 1. Start from the invoice Open the Truster app and go to the Invoices section to the draft invoice you want to add expenses to. Select Add row and then Add or edit expenses. 2. Select the place of work When adding expenses for completed gigs, set the place of work as Special. If you work permanently in the same place, such as at home or at an office, that is considered your actual place of work. In that case, trips between home and the workplace are usually not reimbursed. Finally, check the expenses See the expense-specific instructions below. Once all expenses have been added, check the details and make sure all expenses are included. You don't need to send the invoice yourself — we will match the expenses to the correct gig once we receive the billing information from the client.

What is light entrepreneurship

Light entrepreneurship is a form of work that allows a private individual to invoice for their own expertise without having their own business ID or setting up a company. A light entrepreneur finds their own clients and agrees on the content and price of the work themselves, but invoicing is handled through an invoicing service. Light entrepreneurship is especially suitable for those who want to try entrepreneurial-style work in an easy and flexible way.
