Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from taxi and private hire drivers
Do taxi drivers need to file a self-assessment tax return?
Yes, if you're a self-employed taxi driver, Uber driver, or private hire driver, you must file a self-assessment tax return with HMRC each year by 31st January. This applies whether you own your vehicle or rent one.
What expenses can taxi drivers claim?
You can claim fuel, vehicle repairs, insurance, licensing fees, phone bills, car cleaning, Uber/Bolt commission, and vehicle finance. We'll make sure you claim everything you're entitled to.
Can I claim mileage instead of actual costs?
Yes, you can use HMRC's mileage rates (45p/mile for first 10,000 miles). However, for most taxi drivers, claiming actual costs saves more tax. We'll calculate which method is best for you.
What records do I need to keep?
Keep records of all income (app earnings, cash fares, tips), fuel receipts, vehicle expenses, insurance documents, and licence fees. We can advise on the best apps to track your income and expenses.
