How much tax does an MEI rideshare driver pay per month?

The MEI's DAS is a fixed monthly amount: 5% of the minimum wage (the social-security part) plus R$ 5 of service tax. It does not depend on how much you billed that month — it only changes when the minimum wage changes.

Does a rideshare driver without a company (CNPJ) pay tax?

Yes, through the Carnê-Leão. Passenger transport has its own deduction rule and the income-tax table changes every year, so the practical approach is to set aside a percentage of your profit every month and fine-tune it with an accountant.

MEI: how much the driver pays per month

As a rideshare driver registered as an MEI (individual micro-entrepreneur), the tax is the DAS, a fixed monthly amount: 5% of the minimum wage (the social security part) plus R$ 5 of service tax. It doesn't depend on how much you billed that month — it only changes when the minimum wage changes. The MEI revenue ceiling is R$ 81,000 per year; go over it and you have to move to another tax bracket.

Self-employed, without a company

Without a company (CNPJ), you file through the Carnê-Leão. Passenger transport has its own deduction rule and the income-tax table changes every year, so here the calculator works with a reserve as a percentage of your profit — a practical way to set the tax money aside. Fine-tune the percentage with your accountant.
