Sharing Economy Reporting Regime (SERR) – Pawshake Help Centre

Why Pawshake needs additional information from sitters

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requires digital platforms like Pawshake to report certain information about services completed through the platform. This reporting helps the ATO understand income earned through sharing-economy activities in Australia.

Because of these requirements, Pawshake must ensure that sitter accounts contain the necessary information so we can meet our obligations.
