Trusted Online Accountants for UK Taxi & Delivery Drivers

If you drive for platforms such as Uber, Bolt, Ola, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, or Just Eat—or operate as a private hire or local taxi driver—you are usually classed as self-employed.

This means you are responsible for:

Registering with HMRC
Tracking your income and expenses
Submitting an annual Self Assessment tax return
Paying the correct tax and National Insurance

At Sanderson, we specialise in providing simple, affordable, and reliable accounting services for taxi and delivery drivers. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to.

Who Needs an Accountant for Taxi Work?

You’ll likely need accounting support if you are a:

Private hire driver
Uber, Bolt, or Ola driver
Black cab or local taxi driver
Delivery rider or driver for Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat, or similar platforms

Most drivers must submit a Self Assessment tax return each year and may need to pay Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance. Many drivers miss out on allowable expenses or make avoidable mistakes—professional support helps prevent this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an accountant as a taxi or delivery driver?

While it’s not legally required, an accountant helps ensure compliance, reduces the risk of penalties, and often saves you more in tax than the cost of the service.

When do I need to register as self-employed?

You must register with HMRC as soon as you start working for yourself and earning income as a taxi or delivery driver.

How much tax do taxi drivers pay?

Tax depends on your profits after allowable expenses. You may pay income tax and Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance. We calculate this accurately for you.

Can I claim fuel and car costs?

Yes, in most cases. You can usually claim either actual vehicle costs or use the simplified mileage method. We’ll advise on the most tax-efficient option.

What if I’ve never done a tax return before?

No problem. We handle everything for you, explain what’s required in plain English, and ensure your return is submitted correctly and on time.

How much do your services cost?

Our fees depend on your income level, transaction volume, and the support you need.
