Accountant for Delivery & Courier Drivers UK
Aurestone Advisory helps UK delivery drivers and self-employed couriers (Amazon Flex, Evri, DPD, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Yodel & independent couriers) claim full allowable expenses, optimize mileage tax relief, and file Self Assessment returns without stress.
Tailored Courier Support
We compare standard HMRC mileage rates (45p/mile for the first 10,000 miles) against actual vehicle running costs (fuel, repairs, MOT, insurance, lease payments) to choose the legal method that saves you the most tax.
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.
Don't miss out on tax relief. We help you claim Goods in Transit insurance, Courier Public Liability, mobile phone data plans, safety gear, high-vis, straps, trolleys, parking, and toll fees.
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.
If your delivery turnover grows towards the £90,000 threshold or if voluntary VAT registration could let you reclaim VAT on a new van purchase or fuel, we guide you step-by-step.
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.
Delivery Driver FAQs
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 type, fuel efficiency, and annual delivery mileage. HMRC allows 45p/mile for the first 10,000 business miles (and 25p thereafter) OR claiming actual fuel, insurance, servicing, MOT, and capital allowances. We calculate both to determine which method leaves more money in your pocket.
Yes! Working for multiple platforms is very common for UK courier drivers. We consolidate all your income sources into a single return while ensuring all business expenses and mileage across every app are fully claimed.
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.
Don't panic. We specialize in late filing catch-ups and voluntary disclosures. We can bring your bookkeeping up to date, submit overdue Self Assessment returns, and help minimize any potential HMRC penalties.
