We know that working as a driver or delivery person takes a large part of your time. However, you also need to make sure you’re giving customers the best possible experience. On the other hand, you must complete your tax returns.
Working for Uber, Deliveroo, or as a taxi driver means you’re not technically working for them, you’re essentially a self-employed contractor partnering with them. This means you are responsible for tracking your expenses and taxes.
You will be given a UTR number when you register with HMRC and it is important to note this as it is your unique identifier. As a self-employed Uber, Deliveroo or Taxi driver, you must submit your tax returns by January 31 each year if online or by October 31 if in paper.
Keep all important documents related to your earnings and expenses, file them or transfer them to digital media for safe keeping.
