The rule is that if you\u2019re required to complete a <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/self-assessment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Self Assessment<\/a> tax return, you\u2019re able to claim back some of the costs as expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tax in 10(ish) seconds - what are expenses?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H2yyiSfSdoE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will I know if I\u2019m eligible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsure if you\u2019re eligible to claim back tax? Unless you\u2019re in full-time employment, it\u2019s likely that you are. This is because most delivery drivers are classified as self-employed in the eyes of HMRC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a bit of a debate going on about whether drivers are self-employed, or an employee of a company making them entitled to workers\u2019 rights. Regardless, it still helps for you to be informed about whether or not you need to do a tax return.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div> <!-- .c-body -->\n\n<div class=\"b-highlight-mini m-nude m-align-left\">\n    <div class=\"b-block-body\">\n        <p>HMRC requires you to complete a Self Assessment tax return if you are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A sole trader<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A director of a limited company \u2013 or the director and the only employee of a limited company<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Receiving income that is not taxed at source (which just means taxed direct from your salary)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div> <!-- .b-highlight-mini -->\n\n<div class=\"c-body\">\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can delivery drivers claim on tax returns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The general rule surrounding claims is that any expenses that you have incurred which are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/expenses-if-youre-self-employed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018wholly and exclusively\u2019<\/a> for your work are tax deductible. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fuel costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cost of repairs, servicing and running of your vehicle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The costs of your annual road tax and your MOT test<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The cost of cleaning your own vehicle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interest on any bank or personal loans taken out to purchase your vehicle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your license and any other registration fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Car insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breakdown recovery membership fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone usage for business use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking &amp; toll charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that you keep receipts of all your expenses so you can include them in your tax return. Otherwise, HMRC won\u2019t have any record to go on! Also, be aware that if you use the same vehicle for your own personal use then you\u2019ll need to factor this in when any expenses are claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about fuel costs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can claim back tax on any fuel cost you have incurred whilst driving your own vehicle for work. How much you can claim depends on how much you travel during your delivery hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do this through a <a href=\"https:\/\/taxfix.com\/en-uk\/glossary\/mileage-allowance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mileage allowance<\/a>, which calculates your vehicle expenses using a flat rate for mileage instead of the actual costs of running your vehicle. With this you can claim 45p per mile for the first 10,000 and 25p thereafter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to calculate your mileage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our Mileage Allowance calculator.
