Specialist UK Driver Accounting
Fixed-fee Self Assessment and tax support for Amazon Flex, Evri, DPD, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, private-hire and independent UK drivers. Bring your platform statements and mileage records—we’ll organise the figures, review your allowable expenses and calculate what you owe.
Practical experience
Before qualifying as an accountant, Fahad spent around a year and a half driving for Amazon Flex and delivering for Deliveroo and Uber Eats. He understands mileage across back-to-back shifts, income arriving from several apps, and the uncertainty around what to save for tax.
That firsthand experience shapes Aurestone's support: practical record keeping, realistic expense advice and a clear route through Self Assessment.
Who this is for
The problems we see most
Driver Accounting Support
We compare the simplified mileage method with the allowable business share of actual vehicle costs, explain which method is available for your vehicle, and help you apply it consistently.
Whether you drive for Amazon Flex, Evri, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, DPD, Yodel, Stuart or private contracts, we pull together all your payout statements into one accurate Self Assessment return.
We review costs such as business insurance, the business share of phone data, delivery equipment, safety gear, parking and tolls, then include the expenses supported by your records.
We calculate your Income Tax, Class 4 National Insurance, and payment-on-account obligations early so you know exactly what to set aside before the HMRC deadline.
We monitor the relevant VAT and MTD thresholds, help you build digital record-keeping habits, and explain what compatible software and quarterly updates will mean for your driving business.
No endless call centre queues or vague advice. Speak directly with a qualified UK accountant whenever you switch vehicles, buy equipment, or have questions about your tax.
How it works
01
Share your platform statements, mileage log, expense receipts and details of any PAYE or other income.
02
We reconcile income from every platform, review the available vehicle-cost method and check supported business expenses.
03
You receive the tax calculation and return for approval before Aurestone submits it to HMRC.
2026–27 Mileage Rates
These rates apply for the 2026–27 tax year. The mileage method covers costs such as fuel, insurance, servicing, repairs, vehicle tax, MOT and depreciation, so those costs cannot also be claimed separately for the same vehicle.
Fixed-Fee Tax Return Support
Your quote depends on the number of platforms, the condition of your records and whether catch-up bookkeeping is required. We agree a fixed fee before starting the work.

Yes. If your self-employed delivery earnings exceed £1,000 in a tax year (before expenses), you must register for Self Assessment with HMRC and file an annual tax return.
It depends on your vehicle, business mileage, costs and the method already used for that vehicle. For 2026–27, the simplified rate for cars and goods vehicles is 55p for the first 10,000 business miles and 25p after that. Once you use the mileage method for a vehicle, you normally continue with it while that vehicle remains in the business.
Yes. Working for multiple platforms is common. We bring the payout statements together, reconcile the total income and include the allowable expenses supported by your records in one Self Assessment return.
Allowable expenses include business mileage or vehicle running costs (fuel, MOT, repairs, insurance), goods in transit & public liability insurance, phone data used for delivery apps, delivery bags & equipment, parking/tolls, and professional accountancy fees.
It will for some drivers. MTD for Income Tax starts from April 2026 for qualifying income over £50,000, April 2027 for income over £30,000, and April 2028 for income over £20,000. We can check your likely start date and help prepare your digital records and software.
We can help organise the missing records, identify which returns are outstanding and explain the available route for bringing your position up to date. Penalties and interest depend on your circumstances and HMRC's assessment.
Not for the same vehicle costs. The simplified mileage rate already covers fuel, insurance, servicing, repairs, vehicle tax, MOT and depreciation. If you use actual costs instead, you claim the allowable business proportion of relevant vehicle expenses.
Keep weekly or monthly payout statements, invoices, tips and bonuses, mileage records, bank statements and receipts for relevant business costs. Record income from every platform, including cash and private jobs.
Your driving income still needs to be considered separately for Self Assessment. Your PAYE earnings and tax already deducted are also included when calculating your overall tax position.
Aurestone provides a fixed quote after reviewing the number of platforms, the quality of your records and whether catch-up bookkeeping is needed. The quote is agreed before paid work begins.
Tell us which platforms you use and what records you have. We'll confirm the work involved and agree the fee before paid work begins.
