- HMRC can see your delivery earnings automatically from all platforms
- You must declare all income accurately on your Self Assessment
- Discrepancies between platform data and your tax return may trigger HMRC enquiries
- Late or inaccurate filing may result in penalties

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do delivery driver accountants cost in East Ham?
Our delivery driver accountants in East Ham start from £99/month, depending on the complexity of your situation and how many platforms you work across. Contact us for a personalised quote.
Do I really need delivery driver accountants as a courier?
While not legally required, most delivery drivers in East Ham benefit from using specialist delivery driver accountants. We help you track earnings across multiple platforms, claim all allowable expenses, stay compliant with HMRC, and ensure your Self Assessment is accurate. Accountancy fees are also tax-deductible.
What records do I need to keep as a delivery driver?
You need to keep records of all earnings (from Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo, Amazon Flex, etc.), receipts for expenses (phone, equipment, repairs), mileage logs, and any other business-related costs. We help you set up simple record-keeping systems.
Can I claim mileage as a delivery driver?
Yes, you can typically claim either actual vehicle costs (fuel, insurance, repairs, etc.) or the HMRC mileage allowance. From April 2026, the rate increased to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles (up from 45p), and 25p thereafter. This is the first rate increase since 2011. We help you choose the most tax-efficient option for your situation.
What if I work for multiple delivery platforms?
Many delivery drivers work across Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo, and Amazon Flex simultaneously. We handle multi-platform income from all sources, consolidating everything into one accurate Self Assessment tax return.
What happens if I don't declare my delivery income?
Since HMRC now receives delivery driver income data directly from the platforms, undeclared income is likely to be identified. Penalties for failing to declare income can be significant. We help you stay compliant and avoid these issues.
Do you serve other areas besides East Ham?
Yes! We provide delivery driver accountants services across East London including Stratford, Newham, Ilford, Barking, and surrounding areas. We're based locally and understand East London delivery drivers. Contact us to discuss your delivery driver accounting needs.
