For UK Uber, Bolt & private hire drivers
The Accountants Who Speak Driver, Not Jargon
Self Assessment, Making Tax Digital and VAT handled properly by people who understand how driving for a living actually works. Fixed monthly fees, every deadline met, and a straight answer whenever you ask a question.
What We Do
Three things every UK driver has to get right.
Miss any one of them and it costs you — either in penalties, or in tax you never needed to pay. Each one is straightforward once somebody explains it in normal language.

Personal Tax & Self Assessment
Every Uber driver in the UK is self-employed, which means one tax return a year. We prepare it, claim every expense you are entitled to, and tell you exactly what to pay and when.
Personal Tax explainedMaking Tax Digital for Income Tax
MTD for Income Tax started on 6 April 2026. If your gross fares are over £50,000 you now have to keep digital records and send HMRC an update every three months. We do all four for you.
MTD explainedVAT Registration & Returns
Cross £90,000 of taxable turnover in any rolling 12 months and VAT registration is compulsory. Get the timing or the scheme wrong and it costs you thousands. Get it right and it can pay you back.
VAT explainedLimited Company Setup & Accounts
Once your profits pass a certain point, running through a limited company can leave more in your pocket and separate your business from your personal finances. We show you the numbers first, then set it all up.

You drive. We handle the paperwork. Send us your Uber statements and receipts and we turn them into clean digital records that satisfy HMRC and make everything else quicker.

Plenty of drivers have something else going on — a rental property, construction work on the side, a second driver on the vehicle, or a letter from HMRC they have been avoiding. We handle all of it on the same return.
HMRC Support & Investigations
Had a letter, or years of unfiled returns? We become your agent and deal with HMRC so you do not have to.
Landlord & Rental Income
A rental property alongside the driving goes on the same return — and counts towards the same MTD threshold.
CIS Tax Returns & Refunds
Worked on the tools as well? Tax was deducted before your expenses existed. That usually means a refund.
Payroll & Auto-Enrolment
Paying a second driver, or taking a salary from your own company, makes you an employer overnight.
Happening Now
Making Tax Digital is live. It probably applies to you.
Since 6 April 2026, anyone whose gross self-employed income is over £50,000 has had to keep digital records and send HMRC an update every three months.
Here is the part that catches drivers out: the threshold is measured on your gross fares, before expenses. A driver taking £62,000 in fares with a profit of £38,000 is inside MTD — even though their profit is well under £50,000.

Personal Tax
You only pay tax on profit.
The problem: money arrives from Uber every week, and it is very easy to treat that number as your income. It is not. Your income is the gross fare; Uber’s service fee is a business cost; and so are a long list of things most drivers never think to claim.
Every pound of legitimate cost you fail to claim is a pound you get taxed on for no reason. Most drivers who join us have been under-claiming for years — not through anything aggressive, just by not knowing the rules.
- Mileage claimed at the new 55p rate, or actual running costs — whichever genuinely gives you the lower bill
- Uber's service fee claimed in full, which alone is thousands a year for a full-time driver
- Licensing, insurance, phone, cleaning and home admin costs all accounted for
- A clear weekly savings figure, so 31 January is never a shock
Expenses drivers commonly miss
Not an exhaustive list, and not everything applies to everyone — but if you are not claiming most of these, you are paying too much tax.
One rule worth remembering
You cannot claim the 55p mileage rate and your fuel, insurance and servicing. The mileage rate already includes them. Claiming both is the single most common error we correct on returns drivers bring us.

Worth Understanding
Why full-time drivers end up looking at a limited company.
Nearly every driver starts as a sole trader, because that is the default. It is not a decision anyone makes — it is just what happens when you register as self-employed.
As a sole trader you are taxed on every pound of profit the moment it is earned, whether you take it out or not. A limited company is a separate legal person: it pays Corporation Tax at 19% on profits up to £50,000, and you choose how and when to take money out.
Driving income is seasonal and unpredictable. Being able to leave profit in the business in a strong year and draw it in a quieter one is worth real money — and dividends carry no National Insurance at all.
The honest version
A company is not automatically better. It costs more to run and there is genuinely more admin. Here is roughly where the line falls:
Over £45,000 profit
Usually worth it
Especially if you can leave some profit in the business, or your turnover is heading towards the VAT threshold.
