Courier and Delivery Accountants FAQs
Common questions about courier tax returns, delivery driver expenses, mileage, VAT, bookkeeping, Self Assessment, payroll and Making Tax Digital.
Couriers can prepare their own records, but an accountant can help reduce errors, review allowable expenses, prepare tax returns, manage VAT, support payroll and keep records organised for HMRC.
If you are self-employed and your gross trading income is more than the trading allowance, you may need to register for Self Assessment and submit a tax return to HMRC. We can help couriers check what records are needed and prepare the tax return.
Possible allowable expenses may include business-use vehicle costs, mileage, fuel, repairs, servicing, insurance, phone costs, data, delivery bags, protective clothing, parking, tolls, accountancy fees and other work-related costs. The claim depends on your records and business use.
Self-employed couriers may be able to use simplified mileage expenses. For cars and goods vehicles, HMRC rates are 45p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles and 25p per mile after that. Motorcycles have a separate mileage rate.
Usually, you should not claim simplified mileage and separate vehicle running costs for the same vehicle. You normally choose between simplified mileage or actual vehicle costs, depending on your circumstances and records.
Van finance or lease costs may be relevant, but the tax treatment depends on the agreement, ownership, business use, VAT position and whether there is any private use. We can review the records before preparing the accounts.
VAT registration depends on taxable turnover and business circumstances. If taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, registration may be required. We can review whether your courier or delivery business needs to register.
Parking fines, penalties and similar charges are generally not allowable business expenses for tax purposes.
Couriers should keep income statements, invoices, bank statements, receipts, mileage logs, fuel records, insurance documents, vehicle finance agreements, platform statements and HMRC correspondence.
