Transport & Delivery

---

If you're delivering food by bike, scooter, or car with Uber Eats, Deliveroo, or Just Eat. That means you're responsible for your own taxes, but don’t worry KC Accountants UK is here to make it simple for a fixed fee of £150. 

Yes, even if you're delivering part-time or full-time with Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat or similar platforms, you're classed as self-employed, which means HMRC expects you to:

• Register as self-employed
• Keep accurate records of your income and expenses
• Submit a Self Assessment tax return every year
• Pay the right amount of tax and National Insurance
   

This is a legal requirement, and some platforms even pass your earnings info to HMRC, so if you're not compliant, it could affect your ability to renew your account or continue working.

Handling taxes on your own can be stressful dealing with HMRC, understanding tax rules, knowing what expenses to claim... it's a lot. That’s where we come in.

Whether you deliver part-time or full-time, we’ll:

• Make sure you're registered correctly
• Claim all the expenses you're entitled to
• File your return on time
• Help you avoid penalties and unexpected tax bills

"A common misconception is that parking fines are tax deductible they are not. HMRC does not allow fines to be claimed as business expenses."
