Preparing your driver records

If you work across operators or combine driving with other income, prepare a complete Self Assessment document pack. Our tax return service is provided remotely from Stanmore.
Read VAT guidance for London private hire drivers to distinguish the operator’s VAT position from your own registration tests.
London-specific questions
Is there a separate tax allowance for driving in London?
No separate allowance arises simply from this location. The business activity, tax year, expense method and personal circumstances determine the calculation.
Do I need to visit a local office?
The practice is based in Stanmore and supports drivers remotely. These area pages are not branch-office listings. Your written quote confirms how documents, review and approval will be handled.
Uber Driver Accountants in London: Common Questions
Do you have an office in every listed city?
No. The practice is based in Stanmore and supports drivers remotely across the UK. Location pages describe records relevant to drivers working in those areas; they do not represent branch offices.
Can you help if I use several platforms?
We can review Uber, Bolt and other platform records together. Keep each operator’s statements and fee invoices so income, deductions and bank settlements can be reconciled without counting them twice. Tell us about employment, property and other income when requesting your quote.
What is included in the quote?
The written quote confirms the work, reporting periods, total fee, VAT treatment and exclusions before you proceed. Annual Self Assessment, bookkeeping, software, VAT returns, MTD quarterly updates and enquiry work can have different scopes.
What mileage rates apply to an eligible private hire car?
For 2026/27, eligible simplified car mileage is 55p for the first 10,000 business miles and 25p thereafter. Before 6 April 2026 the first band was 45p. Vehicle eligibility, previous claims and the relevant tax year must be checked. The flat amount covers buying and running costs; do not add fuel or insurance again.
When must I register for VAT?
Registration is normally required if taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 over a rolling 12 months, or is expected to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days alone. It is not a profit test or a separate allowance for each platform. Contracts and invoices determine your own supplies.
