Accountant for HGV & Lorry Drivers, UK

You Do the Work. We Will Do the Tax.

Being self-employed as one of the UK's self-employed HGV and lorry drivers brings a tax position that rewards good record-keeping and punishes poor records. You can claim CPC training, licence and medical costs, overnight and meal allowances, work clothing, phone, and vehicle costs if owner-driver, yet most people in the trade pay more tax than they need to simply because those costs are never properly captured. Get the records right and the bill comes down to what it should be.

Your Tax Help Accountants works with self-employed HGV and lorry drivers across the UK. Self-employed HGV drivers can claim overnight subsistence and meal allowances, CPC training, medicals and licence costs that many never realise are deductible. Owner-drivers have a whole further layer of vehicle costs and capital allowances. One fixed fee, one accountant who understands the trade, and more of your hard-earned money kept where it belongs.

If you have only been claiming the obvious costs, you are almost certainly leaving money on the table. A quick review captures what you have missed and gets your tax bill down to what it should be.

Recent Client Outcome

How we helped a hgv & lorry driver client keep more of what they earn

When a self-employed Class 1 driver working through an agency and direct contracts came to us, they had been filing their own returns and declaring their income, but claiming only the obvious costs because they did not realise how much else counted. Their tax bill felt high for what they actually took home.

We went through their real position and claimed overnight allowances, CPC training, medicals and work clothing that had never been included, and set up a simple way to keep records going forward.

The result was a materially lower tax bill and a corrected prior year, a prior year corrected where it was still in the window, and a fixed annual fee, with tax season no longer a source of stress.

HGV & Lorry Drivers Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

What can a self-employed HGV driver claim?
Overnight subsistence and meal allowances when away from home, CPC periodic training, Driver CPC card and medical costs, licence renewals, work clothing and PPE, union or professional fees, and your phone. Owner-drivers also claim the lorry, fuel, insurance, maintenance and capital allowances.
Are overnight allowances really allowable?
Yes, within HMRC's rules for drivers who spend nights away in the cab or in accommodation. Many drivers miss these entirely. We apply the correct allowance and keep the records HMRC expects.
Am I really self-employed if I drive for an agency?
Not always. Agency PAYE work is employment, not self-employment. If you are genuinely self-employed, contracting directly or through your own company, the position is different. We check your status so you are treated correctly and not caught by IR35 or false self-employment.
How much does an accountant for self-employed HGV and lorry drivers cost?
A fixed fee, quoted up front after a free fifteen-minute call, with no surprise bills. For most self-employed clients it is typically covered by the expenses we capture and the tax we save, a predictable fee and an accountant who knows your trade.
I am behind on my tax returns, can you help?
Yes. HMRC charges an automatic ยฃ100 penalty the moment a return is late and it climbs from there. We bring you up to date across every outstanding year, claim what was missed, and appeal penalties where there is a reasonable excuse.
