Accountant for Drivers, UK

Driving Is the Job. The Tax Is Ours.

If you drive for Uber, Bolt or a taxi firm in Enfield, you are self-employed and responsible for your own Self Assessment, and most drivers in the area pay more tax than they need to simply because their expenses are never properly claimed. Driving for Uber, Bolt or a local taxi firm makes you self-employed, and that brings a Self Assessment return, National Insurance, record-keeping, and a tax bill that lands every January whether you have set money aside or not. The platforms do not deduct your tax, and they do not tell you which of your costs you can claim. Most drivers who file their own returns declare close to their gross fares and claim only fuel, handing HMRC far more than they owe.

Your Tax Help Accountants works with private hire and taxi drivers right across the UK. We know the sector: the platform service fees and commissions, the mileage-versus-actual decision, licence and vehicle costs, phone and data, cleaning, and the VAT changes that have made the private hire world more complicated. The job is simple from your side, send us your figures, and we file an accurate return that claims everything you are entitled to, explains your bill, and keeps HMRC off your back. Same accountant every year, fixed fee, with support in English, Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi.

If you have only ever claimed fuel, there is almost certainly money sitting with HMRC. A first-year review of your expenses and prior returns typically recovers more than our fee, and gets your tax bill down to what it should actually be.

Late & Multi-Year Returns

Behind on one or several years? We bring drivers fully up to date, file the outstanding returns, and deal with HMRC penalties and Time to Pay where needed.

Behind on Your Tax Returns?

HMRC charges an automatic ยฃ100 penalty the moment a Self Assessment return is late, with daily penalties and percentage-based charges piling on after that. Many drivers fall a year or two behind without realising how fast it adds up. We take on behind-the-curve drivers regularly, file every outstanding year, claim the expenses that were missed, and appeal penalties where there is a reasonable excuse, usually within a few weeks.

Recent Client Outcome

How we cut a full-time Uber driver's tax bill by ยฃ1,900

A full-time Uber driver in London had been filing his own returns for three years. He declared his gross fares, subtracted fuel, and paid whatever HMRC's calculation produced, around ยฃ3,000 a year. He assumed that was simply the cost of the job and had never been told otherwise.

We reviewed his driving. He was a high-mileage driver in a financed car, so we ran the actual-costs method against the mileage method and the actual costs won comfortably once insurance, servicing, the finance interest and depreciation were included. We then added the Uber service fee and commission he had never claimed, his phone and data, vehicle cleaning, breakdown cover and his private hire licence fees. Two prior years were still inside the amendment window.

His current-year bill fell by around ยฃ1,900, and the amended prior years brought back a further refund. He now sends us his figures once a year and we file an accurate return for a fixed fee.

Driver Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Uber and taxi drivers have to pay tax?
Yes. As an Uber, Bolt or taxi driver you are self-employed, so you must register with HMRC and file a Self Assessment return each year. You pay Income Tax and Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance on your profit, your fares after allowable expenses, not your gross takings. The platforms do not deduct tax for you, so it is your responsibility to file, and we make sure you only pay tax on real profit.
What expenses can an Uber or taxi driver claim?
A wide range: vehicle costs via mileage or actual costs, fuel, insurance, servicing, MOT and repairs, the platform service fee and commission, cleaning and valeting, mobile phone and data, private hire and vehicle licence fees, breakdown cover and more. Most drivers who file their own returns miss several of these, which is where we recover money.
Should I use the mileage method or actual costs?
The mileage method claims 45p (55p for 2026/27) per business mile for the first 10,000 miles and 25p after, covering all running costs in one figure with a mileage log. Actual costs claim the business proportion of every real vehicle cost and can be bigger for high-mileage drivers or expensive cars, but need more records. We compare both for your figures and use whichever leaves you paying less.
Do I need to register for VAT as a private hire driver?
Most individual drivers stay below the ยฃ90,000 VAT threshold and do not need to register, but VAT in private hire has become complex and how the platforms account for VAT can affect drivers. We assess your position, advise whether registration helps or is required, and keep you the right side of the rules.
How much does an accountant for drivers cost?
A fixed fee, quoted up front after a free fifteen-minute call, with no surprise bills. For most drivers the fee is comfortably covered by the extra expenses we find and the tax we save, and you get your return filed correctly and on time. We also handle late and multi-year returns for drivers who have fallen behind.
