The paperwork

Self Assessment, prepared and filed

We prepare it, a qualified accountant files it, and every allowable expense gets claimed. You approve it on your phone.

What this actually is

One return a year, covering your self-employed income, expenses and any other income HMRC needs to know about. The form is not hard. Knowing what you're entitled to claim is the part that costs people money.

We claim the mileage, the phone, the insurance, the kit, the finance interest and the proportion of home costs that applies. Then a qualified accountant reviews it and files it.

What most couriers get wrong

Two things: claiming fuel and mileage (you can't claim both), and not claiming the flat-rate mileage at all because they never kept a log. Both are fixable, and both are worth real money.

What's included

  • Income from every platform
  • All allowable expenses claimed
  • Mileage or actual costs — whichever is better
  • Qualified accountant review
  • Filed with HMRC before the deadline
  • Copy of the return for your records
  • HMRC letters handled
  • Agent authorisation set up

Deadline

The online deadline is 31 January. Late filing starts at £100 and escalates. If you've missed years, the clean-up service deals with the backlog first.

What you earned, what you claimed, what you owe.

Common questions

Can I claim fuel and mileage?

No — you choose one. Mileage at 45p is usually better for a van under 10,000 miles a year; actual costs often win above that. We calculate both and use the higher.

What if I have other income?

Employment, rental or savings income all go on the same return. Tell us at setup and we'll include it.

Do you deal with HMRC for me?

Yes, once agent authorisation is in place. Letters come to us, not you.
