HMRC-registered accountants for Uber, Bolt and taxi drivers in Leeds and the surrounding area. We file your Self Assessment, claim every expense most drivers miss, sort mileage versus actual costs and keep you right on VAT, all for a fixed fee.
Accountant for Drivers, UK
If you drive for Uber, Bolt or a taxi firm in Leeds, 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.
What We Handle

Fuel, platform fees and commission, insurance, servicing, cleaning, phone and data, licences and more, every allowable cost identified so you pay tax only on real profit.
We compare the simplified mileage method against your real vehicle costs and use whichever produces the bigger, legitimate deduction for your driving.
Clear guidance on where you stand with VAT in the changing private hire sector, so you are neither caught out nor paying VAT you do not need to.
Simple digital record-keeping set up so your income and expenses are captured as you go, ready for Making Tax Digital as it reaches sole traders.
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.
HMRC charges an automatic £100 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
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 £3,000 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 £1,900, 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.
