A new tax change would require Uber and Airbnb to charge GST for their services.

Labour says this tax change will subject the gig economy to the same rules as motels and taxi services, which already charge GST.

Deloitte GST partner Allan Bullot says most gig economy workers don't meet the income threshold to charge GST for their services.
