Why your Uber bonus looks bigger than what arrives
The app shows 73.80 zł but your settlement says a 60 zł bonus? Nobody took anything — here’s where the difference comes from, with an example.
In short
- Uber adds 23% VAT to bonuses — a legal partner pays that tax to the tax office.
- The driver app shows the bonus with VAT included, without a separate “Taxes” line.
- Your bonus is exactly what the promotion terms say.
01An example
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Uber promotion bonus | 60.00 zł |
| 23% VAT added by Uber | + 13.80 zł |
| What you see in the app | 73.80 zł |
| VAT paid to the tax office | − 13.80 zł |
| Your bonus | ≈ 60.00 zł |
02Where it comes from
As a legal partner we are a VAT payer. Uber adds 23% to bonuses precisely so that this tax can be paid. The app used to show a separate “Taxes” line, but after an update Uber includes that amount in your total — which makes the bonus look bigger.
03How to check
- Open the week’s details in the Uber app and find the bonus amount.
- Multiply the promotion bonus by 1.23 — you’ll get the app amount.
- In our settlement the bonus and VAT are in separate columns.
