Accountant for Uber Drivers

Your Uber tax return, handled.

Uber drivers are self-employed, which means HMRC expects a Self Assessment return every year — plus records of every mile driven and every allowable cost. We file it for a fixed £150 fee, prepared by a qualified accountant, with a same-day response to anything you need to ask.

  • Self Assessment filed for a fixed £150 — no surprises
  • Every allowable expense claimed, including mileage and Uber fees
  • VAT threshold monitored so you are never caught off-guard
  • Your tax bill known well before HMRC sends the reminder

No long-term contract. If it is not working after three months, you leave with clean records and nothing owed.

Sound familiar?

Tax returns piling up between shifts?

Most Uber drivers are busy enough without working out what counts as an expense, whether they are approaching the VAT threshold, or why their tax bill came out higher than expected. HMRC does not make the self-employed rules easy to find, and getting it wrong costs more than an accountant would have.

  • Unsure which expenses HMRC will actually accept as deductible
  • No idea whether earnings are approaching the VAT registration threshold
  • Self Assessment deadline approaching with no records properly organised

What sorted looks like

Your income is declared correctly, every allowable cost is claimed, and your tax bill is calculated before HMRC asks. The filing is done on time and the records are clean.

  • Every claimable expense identified — mileage, Uber commission, insurance, phone
  • VAT threshold monitored throughout the year, not reviewed in hindsight
  • Self Assessment prepared and filed well before the January deadline
  • Fixed fee of £150 — no hidden charges, no hourly billing surprises

Working with Prad is an absolute lifesaver as someone just starting out in the business world. Being new to everything, it can feel incredibly overwhelming, but Prad makes the whole process straightforward and stress-free. His knowledge of UK accounting and HM Revenue & Customs is second to none, and he always takes the time to explain things clearly rather than leaving me confused.

What you get

Everything your self assessment needs

The £150 fixed fee covers the full Self Assessment return from start to finish — including the parts that trip most drivers up.

01

Self Assessment Tax Return

Your SA100 and SA302 prepared from your Uber income records and filed directly with HMRC. All allowable expenses — mileage at HMRC-approved rates, Uber service fees, vehicle costs, mobile data — are assessed and claimed correctly. Your tax bill and any payments on account are explained in plain terms before submission.

Fixed fee: £150
02

Expense and Mileage Advice

Knowing what HMRC accepts is half the battle. We go through your costs with you so nothing claimable is left on the table — and nothing that would trigger a query gets included. Mileage records, phone costs, and Uber’s own commission charges all have specific HMRC treatment, and we apply each correctly.

Included in Self Assessment
03

VAT Threshold Monitoring

If your total income crosses the VAT registration threshold (currently £90,000), HMRC requires you to register — whether you noticed or not. We keep an eye on where your earnings stand so that if registration becomes necessary, you have time to plan rather than scramble. Advice on the Flat Rate Scheme is included if relevant.

Proactive, not reactive

Why Wings Online Filings

Why Uber drivers work with us

Three things that make a practical difference when you are self-employed and fitting tax admin around a full driving schedule.

🚗

We already know how Uber pays

Uber weekly statements, surge fare breakdowns, and service fee deductions — you will not need to explain how the platform pays out before getting a useful answer. We work with self-employed drivers and know what HMRC expects from the records. That means less back-and-forth and a return prepared correctly the first time.

💷

Fixed £150, no hidden additions

Self Assessment for Uber drivers is £150. That includes the full return, expense review, and filing with HMRC. There is no separate charge for a phone call, no ‘complex return surcharge’ if you have had a busy year, and no invoice that comes in higher than quoted. Show us a cheaper quote from another regulated firm and we will match it.

📋

Plain English, not accounting jargon

Your tax bill, what triggered it, and what you can do differently next year — explained in straightforward terms rather than buried in a letter full of section references. Knowing what your numbers mean is the point. We work on the basis that you should leave every conversation understanding your position better than when you came in.

Getting started

Your return sorted in four steps

The whole process is handled online and takes considerably less of your time than doing it yourself — or googling it at midnight in January.

1

Get a free quote

Fill in the short form on this page or call 020 8089 1876. We confirm the fixed fee upfront — no obligation, no sales call. For most Uber drivers it is £150 for the full Self Assessment return.

2

Send us your records

Your Uber annual tax summary, any other income, and a note of the costs you have incurred. We will tell you exactly what we need — no guesswork required on your part. If records are incomplete or you have not kept track of mileage, we can work with what is available.

3

We prepare everything

Your return is drafted by a qualified accountant, all claimable expenses are assessed, and your tax liability is calculated. We send you a draft to review before anything is submitted — so you know exactly what is going out to HMRC and why.

4

Filed, confirmed, done

Once you approve the return, we file it directly with HMRC and send you confirmation. Your tax bill is clear, the deadline is met, and next year starts with a clean record. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.

Fixed Fee for Self Assessment

“Working with Wings Online Filings Ltd has been an absolute pleasure. They are highly communicative, supportive, and provide a responsive, cost-effective service that perfectly suits my small architecture practice. I switched from another accountant about a year ago and haven’t looked back since. Their expertise, efficiency, and positive ‘can-do’ attitude make them stand out, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a new accountant.”

Questions

Things Uber drivers usually ask us

Do you understand how Uber income and deductions actually work?+

Yes. Uber drivers receive a weekly statement showing gross fares, Uber’s service fee, and net pay — and HMRC expects the gross fare figure to be declared as income, not the net amount after Uber’s cut. The service fee is then claimed as an allowable expense. We handle this correctly as a matter of course, so you do not need to explain the platform before getting a useful answer.

What does it cost and what does that include?+

Self Assessment for an Uber driver is a fixed £150. That covers the full SA100 return, an assessment of all allowable expenses, mileage review, calculation of your tax liability including payments on account, and submission to HMRC. If your situation involves additional income sources — rental income, PAYE employment alongside driving — we will confirm whether any additional fee applies before we start.

I have not kept great records this year — can you still help?+

Usually, yes. Your Uber annual tax summary covers the income side reasonably well. For expenses, we work with whatever records you have — bank statements, receipts, approximate mileage — and help you reconstruct what is claimable. If there are genuine gaps, we will tell you honestly what can be included and what cannot, rather than guessing and creating a problem later.

Is there a long-term contract or minimum commitment?+

No. Most Uber driver clients start with a one-off Self Assessment return at £150. If you want ongoing support — for example, bookkeeping or VAT monitoring as your income grows — we can discuss that separately. There is no lock-in and no obligation beyond the service you have agreed to.

Can I claim mileage if I use my own car for Uber?+

Yes, provided you use the HMRC-approved mileage rate rather than claiming actual vehicle costs — the two methods cannot be combined in the same tax year, and switching between them in later years has restrictions. We assess which approach is more beneficial for your situation and apply it consistently. The approved rate is currently 45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles and 25p thereafter.

How do I know whether I need to register for VAT?+

VAT registration becomes compulsory when your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period. For Uber drivers, this is calculated on gross fares — not on the net amount you actually receive after Uber’s commission. If you are driving consistently, it is worth monitoring. We keep an eye on this as part of our ongoing service and alert you before the threshold becomes an issue rather than after.
